Bank holiday catch up



We have achieved quite a few jobs this weekend, but as usual not as many as we had planned. More has been done to the garden, sowing, thinning, planting, weeding etc. The veg. patch is now full as is the greenhouse, we so need more land !
The old poultry house has been repaired, loose boards screwed back, new pop holes made, old ones repaired or blocked off, ladder built, door repaired... now it's just down to me to clean and treat it and it will be ready to move to it's new location.
The stable has been scrubbed out and the animals have been moved to different areas.Grass has been topped and nettles and thistles strimmed.
The fencing for the bees has been completed and the bees have arrived.

More eggs have been set.


So all in all not too bad and there is still some evening left.
Still no pigs though !

All the young stock are growing fast....

The chicks have gone from this to...



to this.....



to this...in 2 weeks; they have now developed back feathers and the start of breast feathers.



Alfie is filling out.....



I didn't manage to scrub out or stain the goose house today. It had sitting tenants...
