Pleasing 4 Pets

I am the proud owner of 3 new chickens; the chickens are about 8 months old and are starting to produce some lovely eggs. I have had the chickens for about 4 months now and I am really getting attached to them, there really lovely and can be quite calming after a day at work.

My chickens are kept in quite a sturdy shed and it would be quite difficult for a fox to get hold of them but I am really paranoid. I am worried that I will come down in the morning and they will be missing or have been attacked.

A couple of weeks ago I could hear the chickens making a lot of noise in the early morning so i grabbed my torch and no battery supply. I had to go out in the dark and check if they were ok, or to see if anything was lurking. It turns out that they just wanted to play out and had woken up early. I wasn’t best pleased but I was relieved that I didn’t have any dead chickens.  

Overall the chickens have been great to have over the last 4 months and have been producing about 15 eggs a week, which is great and the neighbours love it too.
