Today it is wet, windy and thoroughly miserable out - dark too.Frustratingly the forecast for the weekend is more of the same.Frustrating because we had planned to (and probably will still do so) clear out the feed store, which is part of an open fronted shed attached to the stable.
With the very likelihood of lockdown being imposed on the poultry again this winter, in an attempt to reduce the risk of avian flu, we are looking ahead for suitable housing for the poultry.If we empty the feed store, white wash the walls, creosote the woodwork and make a few adaptations we will have extra spacious and airy housing if needed.
We have also purchased another 6mx 3m polytunnel as last year the polytunnel proved to be ideal housing for the Exchequer Leghorn flock.
Already DEFRA are reminding us of the biosecurity measures we should have in place. They have also recommended everyone signs up to receive 'alerts' / news of the current situation.
