Good afternoon,

May has been a month of two halves. A soggy start meant a very delayed migration from yard to field for both herd & flock, but a sunny second half has seen the grass grow ferociously and the ground dry up remarkably well. We’re already making silage - Nev is teddering the cut grass to let it dry as I type.

The hens are back in the orchard and are happily back to dust bathing & scratching around for worms. They’re eating noticeably less chicken feed but their crops are still bulging, which means their filling up on the lush grass & bugs. Good for the girls, good for the orchard & good for the eggs.

And, we’re happily back to moving the electric fencing & hen house every few days, which is a job best done in pairs and a lovely way to spend an hour or two in the sunshine together.
