Ducks & hens home base.

These are my sister in laws hens ducks.

Our hens went here last summer when we thought we had sold our house.
She does love them all & is very attentive to them going out at 7.15am every morning to feed & let them out.
Mr Fox has been here many times at all times of the day but just lately all are safe.

Three good things:
1. A proper woolly jumper!
2. Hyacinths on the kitchen table.
3. The cold wind has dropped...a frosty night I think!
Pleased that Foxy 🦊 hasn't got hold of them

@julzmaioro Harry reckons he knows them but I can’t tell & they do n’t bother coming running to see him when he goes for eggs!

What a lovely scene with all the hens and geese roaming freely ( as they should !) Hope Mr Fox does not come and visit - he can be so sneaky ! My Hyacinth go out to the conservatory as the strong perfume got me ! It has been a really cold day today - we may be in for frost over night !

Poultry are fun and useful to have. Nice that yours got to be rehomed nearby.

Oh my I hope they stay warm in your cold weather, assuming you live close to your sister.

When we had hens we had to put them away at night -not for foxes but stoats and ferrets!

Sounds like your hens went to a wonderful new home. They've certainly got lots of company.

There’s quite a lot of them...

Must be a lot of work keeping all those hens and ducks. Nice capture of this busy scene.
