PA Chickens' Blog #6

We have now had our pancake race. It was a marvellous success, and our hens' eggs were well used!

We still need to raise a bit more money, in order to book our 'farm visit'. More exciting fundraising events will be planned soon...

On a sadder note, Ghee had to leave us this week, and return to Vauxhall City Farm. He began crowing recently, which was (understandably) a bit too noisy for our neighbours! We were extremely lucky that Vauxhall City Farm were able to take him with very short notice. Everyone has been very sad to see him go, including the other chickens. Crusty in particular has been very quiet.

Ghee is now living back at Vauxhall City Farm, where we think he will be very happy. The hens may see him again, when they visit for the Easter break.

We are having a pancake race on the 21st of February (pancake day) to raise money for a farm visit from Vauxhall.

If you are reading this, and you are not Miss Coles (not likely) then tell Miss Coles you want to get involved!

Ghee was heard wildly crowing this morning.

Our chirpy little hen is now most definitely a big crowing cockerel.

It is likely that Ghee will have to return to Vauxhall City Farm, and be replaced by another female chicken.

Miss Coles is more sad about this than everyone else!

All chickens are well, and being very brave in the exceptional cold, surrounded by lots of foxes.

After lots of discussion, I will accept that Ghee is almost certainly male, based on his behaviour and size. He does not crow, however, which is good; this will keep the neighbours happy.

Below are pictures of Ghee in early November 2011, and early January 2012
