Horror at the hen house door!


Stop Press! The girls faced potential horror tonight as the hen house door was accidentally locked SHUT before the girls had gone to roost!

Unable to roost safely away from Mr Fox, the girls took refuge tonight on the garden bench, with Mandy opting for a plant pot and Billy taking refuge under the garden shed!

"We thought we were abandoned" said Henrietta - Head Hen of the coop, "we were relieved when our leader opened the door and we were able to roost on the perch inside!".

Lined up and ready for bed, but where's our Lots?

Lined up and ready for bed, but where's our Lots?

Perfect fit

Surely Mr Fox won't notice me now

A night out might make a change

Has Lottie gone dotty?



Has our Lottie finally gone dotty? Does she think Mr Fox might not notice her roosting on the fence post? For the last two nights our lovely little Lottie has tried to look discreet and unnoticed - perched on the post. Sorry Lottie Love, even tonight using the bush as a disguise doesn't quite work, but keep trying we like your dotty style.

Billy & Mandy chill out in the sunny sun



Billy and Mandy, who this time last year had never even seen natural daylight, have been soaking up the sunny sun. With wings outstretched, the girls have been sunbathing and enjoying every minute of life without bars. "We love it" they said. "We didn't know the sun even shined!".
