On our Farside allotment, we have a small paddock which has been used for holding goats and chickens in the past. Since November however it has been empty. The chickens had gone into runs on our Nearside allotment due to avian flu restrictions and the goats were down at the farm. As we are now well into spring, the paddock has become overgrown and we want to move our surplus cockerels into it. So we have moved our two smallest goats - Janey and Dolly - into the paddock so that they can eat their way through all the vegetation. We are also trimming the hawthorn hedge though we are checking it carefully for any bird nests. If we find any, the hedge trimming will be delayed until later in the year. The goats however love hawthorn. It's one of their favourites.
