Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

[Mother of Chaos]

Some of the wild water they drink is more like compost tea...

Afternoon snack and early supper are basically the same thing this time of year. Sunset today was at 15:19 (it actually disappears behind the hill a while before that), although they don't go to roost until almost an hour later.

Whoa, wait, I just read again: your sunset is at 3:19 in the afternoon? Yikes!

It's at 3:19pm if there isn't a hill in between you and the point where the sun meets the horizon Technically the sun stops being visible from the chicken plot at some time before 3pm.

We're stuck with this ridiculous daylight savings nonsense because apparently no one has realised that even Scottish farmers have electric lights nowadays and they're not just sat in bed twiddling their thumbs until the sun comes up.
