I may get one myself. The trugs are rather heavy when full, so wheels will help. Also good to use as a base to work with, a bit higher than the floor! And so much fun!
You aren't helping my arguments against a wheelbarrow! I do like our chickens. I worry about foxes but well I can only do my best. There are some large cats around, feral population and I can imagine some of them fighting foxes off so think foxes may be busy already. I have my own cats, that are frightened of the chickens, although when the chicks were smaller they would chase off other cats coming to noisy but now the chickens are massive they are cautious. It's one of the noises I remember from my childhood - foxes screaming in the night. I haven't heard that since moving, only just realised that. Where we used to live there were two dog foxes I saw regularly.
I've had to reassure many an urbanite moved to the country that nobody is being murdered when it's the courting season . Lived in North Wales for a time in the 1940s and out early one bright morning with my father, we saw a dog fox framed against the rising sun. Never forgotten that moment and it resonates every time I hear them
Fantastic! I am sure it would have been strange the first time I heard but I must have been so young at the time, I don't remember. Foxes and frogs screaming, potentially very scary sounds unless you know what they are!
I used to walk our dog late on a night and had a companion across the road from us most of the way. It became a set pattern, he would join us each night, watching us, me trying to watch him out of the corner of me thinking it would spoke him and ti never did. The other one would do a circuit of the bin bags that had been put out on the Sunday night (even though the council said otu from 7am) for collection on Monday morning. He knew exactly which houses to visit, didn't even look twice at some houses.
You just reminded me about when we first moved here (not quite the country but near enough) we were rudely awoken at stupid o'clock by what turned out to be a murder of crows on the roof and the roof tops of all our neighbours as far as I could see... Hitchcock's "Birds" came to mind and frightened us all half to death till my cousin in East Sussex explained on the phone that its a common occurrence and not to worry :O
