new arrivals

To solve my no egg situation i purchased 4 new chickens at holsworthy poultry auction today. The Auctioneer commented on what a good buy which made me smile.

Got them home and have had 4 eggs  - so back to selling eggs tomorrow me thinks. i cleared more of my field today and discovered what could be sloes or damsons. Not on a thorny bush so I believe after asking my friends on backyard and garden farming, smallholding and farmstead they are damsons.
