Old Hens

[andy Burgess]

put the old bird race hens out today for the first time in a while. most enjoying a rain shower , some flying . just hoping they all trap ok a little later ??

The only worry I would have about them lying with the wings spread in the rain shower Andy is their like sitting ducks for bops to have a go at them :angry:

Mrs Burgess, whites were last out 2 weeks ago ,as I was cleaning the section , heard the crows making a noise ,came out to see the hawk on a little hen not 10 foot away on the lawn . luckily I was quick enough to rescue her .

I have to get them fit somehow , waiting another month or 2 isn't really an option , very little we can do about it Pat .
