Chicken-opolis - the end is nigh...


Prepare to shed a collective tear. In preparation for our departure in 50 days time (eek - so much to do!), our lovely chickens Rita, Mavis & Deirdre are due to depart for the sunnier climes of Wargrave - just across the river from Henley. We've sold their Eglu home on Ebay and the 'winners' are coming all the way from Ross-on-Wye to pick that up on Sunday, and on Friday the chooks are going to live with their new family. We've had Rita & Mavis for almost 2 years and Deirdre for about 8 months so it will be a sad day when they lay their last egg and cluck their last cluck at the bottom of the garden. But such is the price you pay when you set off on a 7-month holiday...
