Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.
With Christmas over and everyone back to work we can look forward to the year ahead and hopefully put into place a few new plans, once DEFRAs restrictions have been lifted. Having to keep all the poultry housed hasn't gone down too well with many of the hens, they are all use to being able to free range and forage.We have done our best to keep them busy with extra greens, straw and scattered corn but egg numbers have dropped, especially amongst the hybrid layers.However the younger pullets have started to come into lay and the Exchequer Leghorns are laying well enough to consider setting the incubator.So hopefully soon we will have chicks again.
Many thanks for your support and custom over the past year.We look forward to sharing the antics of the Bellecross Hens with you again this year.
