Sunset On the Farm January 2010

 January 2010. Happy New Year to all our customers. The year started off with lots of snow and frozen water on the farm. Very time consuming filling cattle and hen troughs by hand but back to normal at last! Last year was another busy one for newcomers to henkeeping and we sold plenty of POL hens.

 

The pigs arrived in the freezer in November and taste wonderful.

 

 

 July 2009. The new piglets have arrived. Saddleback x Gloucester Old Spot about 8 weeks old. Settling in ok and have found the food trough!  

 Feb 2009. Snow has arrived on at Crofters Farm. The duck pond has frozen over and the ice needs breaking often. The hill has been turned into a sledging run, fun for all the kids off school.

 

The turbine looks very wintery in the cloud.

 

 

The Hens are not quite sure of the snow under their feet!

 

 

 

            Also one Black and White Girl.

 A new batch of chicks have been hatched from the bantam eggs found in the barn.

 The new seasons Point of lay Hens have arrived to sell and are very popular this year.

The Hen house had its spring clean in the dry sunny weather and looked like new.
