Settled in

Barnvelders Apr 20

I'm pleased to be able to report that our Barnvelder chickens have settled in well to their new home in the nanny goat paddock. We were hoping to have moved the nannies out of the paddock and down to our main field but the pandemic crisis has stopped us buying the fence posts we need to ensure the goats don't wander off! So the nannies are staying put for the moment. We were planning to get some turkeys (as an experiment) but that plan is on hold at the moment due to the pandemic. The nannies' paddock would be used to house the turkeys so until they move, the turkey plans will remain an aspiration.

And if we do get turkeys, it will mean moving the Barnvelders to a separate run as we can't keep turkeys and chickens together.
