Suitable footwear for chicken farmers?

Musical pigs.......
...you seriously think I want to live out there, when I currently live in a centrally heated bedroom!!
The chicks are now off their heat lamp permanently and learning to sleep in a big bundle of warmth during the dark hours of the night. I am in the process of clearing a space in the polytunnel so I can fit the Eglu in there. This should give them an extra degree of protection from this cold weather when they move outside in the next couple of weeks.
They are now getting very big and the boys are starting to play fight. Soon they will be looking for new homes. I have three girls and four boys (I think.....going off their combs and behaviour), the boys would make a brilliant addition to anyone who already has Bantams and would like to breed from them. Bantam cockerels are very protective of their ladies and make wonderful guards for your chickens, they also have no problem living with larger hens, although they do sometimes get a bit 'hen-pecked' due to their size. I hope I will be able to sell the three girls together if possible, they could go with one boy if someone wanted a ready made family as it is not the end of the world for a first family of brother and sisters in healthy Pekin Bantams.
They are now five weeks old and can go to suitable homes at eight or nine weeks, depending on the housing. So if anyone would like to have the prettiest, most productive pets possible get in touch at my email address above. This is a first opportunity for Blogging pals they will be advertised for sale locally in two weeks.
Now I'm off back to the polytunnel to make the space needed. Hope you all had a brilliant Christmas, I'll be back in a day or so with my Review of the Year.

Snowy Days on the Farm

Piggies in the snow.....
We had the shock of our lives yesterday morning when we went to feed the pigs. Where we had left four sleeping piggies in the ark last night, this morning there were eight.

Ooooh.....it must be Christmas!!
This year he must have worked even harder than usual....we have the bigger version.....I'm very, very impressed.
We haven't unpacked it yet, it's sat beside the Christmas tree, we were going to last night but we both fell asleep on the sofa while watching the Edwardian Farm...zzzzz!!
Tonight we will investigate what goodies it contains, very appropriate as Lovely Hubby breaks up for his Christmas holidays today and we will be together on the farm for the next couple of weeks.
