    Artjak.      Bless.   does Flossieflo stay for hours? Leo worships OH and sits at the gate waiting for him to return and give him a pat. It's all he asks for!

  • Hi Lily Pilly - keeping hens - we have 4 now and I must say they are very easy but garden plants have to be well thought out. We have a large well established garden - with lots of trees so to be honest we don't need to add many flower interests as we feel there is enough going on. We are rural too so our hens have a wonderful life - wandering into the field next door on a late afternoon and their little heads can just be seen through the fence as they sunbathe. Dustbaths are a joy to behold and when I sit and watch them (often for too long) I realise how sad it is for the battery hens. No cockerel - they don't need one - they give us lovely eggs. Cockerels will mean chicks and this is where it all gets complicated. We've done that - we just want nice eggs now. Any questions just shout. I'd recommend anybody to keep a few chickens - strong secure housing - no pesky fox issues.

    Lilly P, Flossie stays until there is someone she can bark at and then goes haring down the garden barking all the way (she was going behind the studio and taking a short cut across the veg patchimage - so had to make little gate to stop that route - she instantly learnt how to open the gate so it is now very secureimage) I then go haring down the garden behind her brandishing a squeezy bottle of water shouting 'No barking' and 'in the house'. This eventually works, we do this several times each morning and it keeps us very fitimage
