And thanks so much for that wonderful e-card you sent us, it really made our day. I just wish my plants would grow that well.....! I sympathise wholeheartedly regarding your trials & tribulations with Peace & Hope. I transferred our Silkies into a new Ark recently; & they STILL won't go upstairs to bed. I spent a few painful evenings attempting to catch them & enclose them more safely in the upper storey - but had my hands pecked to ribbons in the process. I'm determined not to give up so will have one last try & leave them locked in upstairs again for 24 hours - however this 'tried & tested' method didn't work earlier in the week so I suppose I'll just have to leave them to it. Funny: my other, larger hens have never pecked us; yet these diminutive devils have proved nothing but trouble, flying around the barn & attacking everything in sight. I'll keep the Mother Superior as she's such a fantastic broody hen, but as to her ten chicks....poussin, anyone....?! Here's wishing you a wonderful 2009, may your garden grow & overflow with fruit, flowers & vegetables in abundance. Best wishes, Jo, Tony, & all the furred & feathered bunch here at LittleFfarm Dairy. A very Happy New Year to you both, & to the CS menagerie.
