While Away

NIGEL:

While away Jane had several helpers at different times. Her father, Mr John, was very serious about it, checking the fences & gates regularly while he was there. We moved all the chickens into the same area including our two remaining roosters... Buster & 46. Well 46 wasn't being his welcoming self when we entered the chicken yards... & tried to attack whenever he determined it was needed, which was almost anytime we went into the yard! Susan's favorite story about Mr John was just before we left....

Susan, Mr John (who is typically understated) & Jane were putting the chickens to bed (locking them in the coop) & doing the head count. Mr John had the numbers written done.... & his call was.... "7 white, 16 black 1 rooster & 1 SOB!" Hah!

All were alive & well on our return although the hen's laying had dropped dramatically!
