Better later than never… A couple of our hens have decided it's time to come back into lay. Now for the other 30.

Hi Stonehead your post arrival times are a bit eratic, only got your posting about the house breakin today. Little suggestion to try and put off burglars is buy a few false wall cameras from Maplin that give off a pulse of light it could just deter them. The answer really is to make an example of them when caught is to feather them like a chicken throw them into a cage of lions and see how fast they run. Road runner beep beep.

  Chasing them off with the sledgehammer or the muck fork works quite well, too.

Sorry to hear of your somewhat mixed luck Stoney…Sussex has a nice coating of snow tonight as I type, but I expect hardy types like yourself would barely notice! All the best from Bognor

  We had snow cover until early last week, then lost it for about six days and now it’s back. Quite typical. I don’t expect a snow-free month until May at the earliest.

Just wondering how the Scots Grey breeding programme is going? I bought a quartet from Andy Marshall back in November of 2012 and have just hatched my second batch of chicks.
