Kts fort

After a wildlife attack on my ducks and chickens. Project fort was launched. 

First 25 Pallettes delivered to field

Second job lugging Pallettes across field. Was planning to hire help but became an emergency to get the job done. 

Build an enclosure that nothing is getting in other than me! 








Pallettes put in place then secured. Old electric fence stapled to Pallettes to fill in the gaps! 

The current electric fence placed on top of Pallettes and tied in to make 9ft enclosure. 

Wooden supports placed where needed. A couple more needed to make it gale proof for winter. 

Fingers crossed nothing getting in there now. 

Place objects for chicken & duck play and what a fab pad. 

Also created a space I can create into a goose run! Next purchase geese! 

Think I better let the old back rest before lugging more Pallettes!

Sheep shearing




Another successful sheep shearing thanks to Martin. All drenched too including the lambs. Them lambs are strong and fast. Proud of how they are doing. 








Ducklings are now in chicken coup. Mr drake has taken a shine to them. Thought his birthdays all came at once. Had to separate them from him as he has claimed them as his ladies. They not old enough mr drake!
