Attention all poultry keepers, fowl fanciers, bird herders, and chicken ticklers. Are you tired of hiding bodies? Do you baulk at the thought of concealing crimes beneath yet another patio or raised garden bed? Warn your visitors and save their lives. It's okay, chickens can't read. Yet.

We have a mystery to solve. One of our ducks has been laying in a secret nest somewhere so we bought a fake, ceramic egg and placed it in a nest to encourage her to lay there. It was a nest made by our goose so a bit oversized for a duck but it was right next to an abandoned duck nest so Now the ceramic egg has gone missing...

Today I will be mostly taking down poultry runs. Time for a move to another pen for the birds.This keeps them healthy and reduces worms and other parasites. #Chickens #Poultry #SmallHolding
@kashcah That is huge what an amazing growing space. #Crofting #Smallholding #HomeSteading
In other news, the geese are filling their crops with grit from the molehills. Contrary to many farmers’ beliefs this does the geese (and their eggs) no harm. They have healthy digestive systems to deal with any naturally occurring soil bacteria and the grit helps them break down their diet of grass and grains. #Permaculture #SmallHolding #Geese
Today's task is insulating and boarding out some loft storage space under the eaves. Cramped and surprisingly hot work.
