The pigs have now got about an ache of land to roam around in which they have been enjoying for a couple of days. The forcast of a storm last night, the hatches where battened down so to speak and everything tied down or put in shed. After a concerned night and must admit a sleepless night and a dread of a field and animal check this am.
Got out of bed to a blue sky so at least any storm clear up in the dry me thought. First thing i noticed as i approached the animals field was the pigs where with the chicken coops. The pigs were actually lined up next to the animal feed shed they had escaped due to debris on their fence but instead of making a run for it just wanted breakfast!!
Soon sorted my words where pig wigs breakfast and they followed me back to where they belonged. They then happily munched their food before i managed to sort the fence so they wondered down the field and found the woods at the bottom of the field. i decided to finish sorting the fence for their pen. after the pen was sorted i wondered down to the wood they followed me back again to their pen. so well behaved my pigs!! so they are now happily in their massive new pen again. Chickens and ducks wet and soggy pen but not too water logged.
Keep trying to get them mucked out this morning and every time i do the heavens open.
The bees - the main hive with the bees is safe but the spare one was on its side and that was it. I am so glad i did all the dead tree removals over the last few months. I think i have noticed one fallen tree out there but middle of field so no problems there.
Upshot is i dont have much fencing to complete and pigs can have the whole 3 ache field!
After a soggy morning weather i need a 30 min window of no rain to muck out the chickens and ducks please??
