  • The chickens have come under attack by local French Pine Martens - and they are hungry determined creatures!
    Anna and Peter tackle the problem by increasing security in the chicken coup - beefing up the doors and sealing all the main openings.

    I am so glad that you are posting again as I missed seeing your skills, goodness and the care and respect that you show to the animals under your care. I was in tears when you had to leave the chateau that you had made so beautiful. You look happily settled where you are, at least I hope so.

    So interesting! I never knew so much about chickens before. But then I never grew up on a farm or had chickens. But I had never heard about that kind of behavior of chickens before. Good thing Anna is knowledgeable. Hopefully, the work you did will keep those chickens safe from other animals.

    An 86 year old grandma ( Helen Wyatt), who lives in Dublin, Georgia has a lot of chickens. Most she incubated and hatched. A viewer sent her some of those chicken aprons. That was the first time I saw them. Do you have any footage of Annie hatching. Some of those Cockrell can be really nasty. Grandma has an issue with snakes now and then. Do you encounter snakes there? Those pine Martin's could be hazardous to chickens. It is good to see you take precautions. Your place is beautiful and the animals are well kept and cared for.❤

    It's a very useful job you had done in the chicken coop, so they can rest in peace, without egg robbers visiting at night.
    In 1956 - 1964, when I visited my grandfather and grandmother, they had the henhouse and the locomotive in the same house, down at the back of the garden -
    I remember when you had to go to the toilet - there was a pleasant clucking from the chickens, but there was also a draft, at times there were also visits from mice etc. My older sister didn't want to visit there, for the same reason 🤩

    Funny about the chicken with the apron on. I was in a local yard sale and one of the sellers was holding a chicken with one on. She really did look spoiled. You always have improvements going on. What a good job you always do, it is so nice.

    It is so nice to see you both again. Was Anna raised on a farm? She is so comfortable around the animals and garden. Can you sell some of the extra eggs to the locals? I am lucky to be able to get fresh eggs from a farm couple who live just outside my small farm community here in Iowa. They are beautiful brown eggs. Delicious in everything. I love your property. I am so glad you both are such good stewards of the land.

Lovely to see you two again :) Brave that Anna did that for the chick is sweet I am sorry she's having trouble you know what you are doing no one should judge you are caring towards all your menagerie.

    I don’t think you’re odd or I’d have to think I’m odd 😊 chickens are lovely but can be really nasty to each other sometimes. I wish I could have more but where I am I’m only allowed 5. When I was a kid we had a fox burrow under a 4 foot footing to get our rabbits.
