    Thoroughly enjoyed this video 😊 You definitely earned that lolly! You worked so hard getting all the wood cut for the next lot to arrive. Pleased to see you had that saw as I thought you were going to chop them with an axe! Beautiful new chickens, what about Muriel for a name?! I hope there’s no major injuries with the pecking order as I can imagine it’s upsetting to see. X

  • @littlemissmoffattontheroad

    What a lovely video 🥰 What a beautiful area where you live. Watching your chickens take me back to my childhood when I’d visit our relatives on their farm in Suffolk. I just loved collecting eggs even though I don’t eat them. Isn’t Toby a gentle soul? I will have to visit Germany, probably I’ll drive there next year as I want to visit my daughter who lives in Poland. You are living your dream. X
