For a treat I've just put the chickens in the veggie garden, they're having such a good time destroying the remaining crops and scratching up all the earth. Making a fine mess eveywhere, excellent entertainment!

They are great - we pop some of ours on varying patches when they need cleaing, they do all the hefty work of uprooting all teh remanants and weeds, eat slugs eggs etc and manure as they go - a perfectly sustainable practice all round and hilarious fun to boot with their comical antics and furious scratching!

Slug caviar

I've just had one of my little Warrens with me clearing the potato patch on the lottie. We moved a tarpaulin and underneath were about 10 piles of slug caviar! She thought she was in chooky heaven - bokbokboking and tweeting away to herself! The others hadn't worked out that the leccy fence was switched off so were running madly up and down the other side!

Hahahaha Sue thats funny, I can see them all now running up and down even though its off. Mine love slug eggs almost as much as I hate them!

I knew you would be home before us even though you were going to the lottie first - back though and settled!

My ex-batts don't really like vegetables, although they'll take slugs and worms .. they ignored the mouse left for them by the cats this morning though.

The cats catch our mice and we chuck them in the ferret run - no mouse problems here!

We were cutting the grass on the extension to my allotment and a little field mouse popped his/her head up and gave us a right good telling off.

I have only let them out onto the allotment a couple of times since Souffle is a good jumper!! and its a long walk round to the horse field behind if she gets over!
