Chicken Heaven

Thursday 25th October 2012 by Steve Mayne

So egg production had gone to zero – and their food was at an end.

My ladies have gone ( I hope ) to chicken heaven.  Dispatching is horrible.  I am proud that I did it quickly and humanely.  The first one seemed to know what was going to happen – so much so that my eldest who was inside the house heard it and told Mummy that he heard a chicken was crying for help.  He was probably right.  It was flippin’ loud.

So the plan is to clean the run out this weekend – then think about when we want to get some more ladies.
