I'm sad to say that "Scarwney Chuck" passed away this week having had a stressful entanglement with a clematis (climbing plant / triffid). Chris Bygate plus helpers boldly cut her free from the plant but she died later on - chances are it was organ failure as is the case with ex-battery hens.

Either way, the four brave hens remain: Clever Chuck, Alpha Chuck (the two oldest at nearly 2 years old), Big Chuck and Cheeky Chuck (around 20 months old). This weather has turned their run into something of a bomb site / mud bath - hopefully tomorrow will be dry enough for a spruce-up.
