Another rainy day

DAY 5 - EGG COUNT 3 (it's a wonder we have any considering weather)
It's raining again and our girls really do not like the rain - I don't like the rain, who does like rain? It's supposed to be spring for goodness sake!
Yesterday, I forgot to show you Blondie's picture which I've included today - isn't she gorgeous and clever too, she can lay an egg standing up and eat at the same time (as recounted to you earlier.)
My elderly Mother was very concerned about the hens in the middle of the night. Apparently they were making a heck of a noise and she was worried there might be a fox about. Pleased to say they were all in one piece this morning but my husband is thinking about putting them in the hen house at night in view of this report. Thankfully, we have never been troubled with foxes before but our friend Clive had a total disaster last year. Fox got all his hens in broad daylight - he'd popped out to mow someone's lawn and came home to a scene of utter carnage. Foxes can be beastly things, they will kill every hen even if they are not hungry enough to eat them all. Still, I suppose it's nature, fox might have had cubs to feed and so the cycle of life goes on. See you tommorrow.
