    The Old Folks Home

    The Chevy pickup looks great for it's age. You live in a lovely part of the world and thats from a Scot, with his Hills, Glens and local Castle. None of them belonging to me personally I may add, just a lovely view to the eye and to roam of course.

    3 days to go!

    Ahhhhhhhh! 3 days to go until we head to St.Andrews to pick up our very small flock of 3 hens. I was nearly ready for them too, until a heavy rain fall broke my overhead joints on the run that was holding up the netting AND the tarpaulin that I was using to shelter myself from any rain, while...

    Question folks

    Hi thriftyfarmer, They are rescued birds, I do believe they are just not the cream of the flock so instead of slaughtering them the Battery Hen Welfare Trust are told how many they can have. They inform people that have logged an interest to rehome the hens, have them confirm they still want...

    At the bare beginnings

    We are going all organic with a recycling twist. Hi folks, I am new to this and have gathered up a second hand fairly good condition coop, chicken wire, wood, part of an old shed, wormery and other bits and bobs. We already have a raised veg patch and composted for the past four years. The next...
