We
realised we were due to be away a lot in March, April and May so decided it would be
better to move the chickens somewhere else to be looked after. Our friends Angela and Terry are renovating their
gorgeous old French house which has in the garden some ancient but good
condition hen houses – they have always fancied having chicks so… we packed Mrs Mac and Ginger into a nice
straw filled box, all their food sacks, drinks trays and paraphernalia into the
car and took them over.
Out they popped into their new home and started laying their eggs immediately! They are having a great time and did not seem to mind the upheaval at all. Angela and Terry are enjoying eggy breakfast everyday – everybody is happy.

They
are due to come back to us at the end of May by which time we will have renovated
the chicken coop and pen – I have even got some nice French flag bunting to
welcome them home! I do miss their
lovely cooing and funny antics though.
