Well I couldnt resist... I got another 2 hens on Friday 3rd October 2008 , the are "BlackRocks", I brought them from a lady who owns a garden center called "Algrips", she only charged me £2 each for them. One though had got a sore back apparently from the cockeral they had, they do this I read, poor things! Trouble was when I put them will my other 2 hens Millie and Molly they just kept attacking them, Molly especially went for the one with the sore back, I know this is called the "Pecking Order" but its awful to watch and it must be soooo painful for the hen herself :( hopefully they will settle very soon!
I have been trying to create my own wildlife garden, I only have a very small garden but have managed to fit 4 small ponds in to it (2 which have pumps and 2 without, they include frogs, newts and 3 goldfish), 12 bird boxes, 2 lots of feeding stations and some flower beds.I also have just acquired an allotment which is on my other blog, link below. I started this project in 2007 but only started bloggin it in 2008. I hope you enjoy my creation.
I love nature, wildlife, allotmenteering and gardening. This Blog is to show the wildlife happenings in my garden, I am creating a wildlife garden, which hopefully will attract lots of different species, including birds, insects, amphibians ect. I Currently have 12 bird boxes so hopefully i will have some nesting birds. I also now have chickens and they add lots of interest to my garden.
