Our New Life in the Country: A 'Non Chicken'

A 'Non Chicken'

I got on the computer pretty sharpish this morning as I needed to send out some emails, it's always a good way to have breakfast on a Monday with the dogs snoozing at my feet after their walk around the paddock. After I had done my 'work' I thought I just had to show you this ....

... a certain little 'non-chicken' eating with the girls first thing this morning.

Did you spot a certain little cheeky Jack Russell in amongst the hens at the trough feeder. She came away when she noticed that I had spotted her :-)

Just click on the photos to enlarge them.

Adore the NEW chichen species that you have discovered !
Your chickens are lovely, I especially like the white one with the black feathers.
Someone is just the right size to fit in.

cheers, parsnip

Our cat Digby is so greedy and jealous he will eat the food we put out for the wild birds....

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

Sue xx
