Thanks for that Sue. We're moving the chooks down to my plot this weekend, feeling a bit nervous about it I have to admit, and I shall miss them pecking around in the front garden! But they have to go, as there's much more room for them down there, and I need them to get eating those slugs - plus the neighbours have complained about them!! (Making our tidy little road look like a smallholders paradise - I did jest that we were getting a pig next)

I'm doing lots of reading up about electric fencing erection now, so wish me luck. I'll post about the sucess or otherwise - it's the foxes that worry me silly.....
