It was a brilliant idea that continues to thrive and although I've only been taking advantage of it for three months, I think I'm now addicted. It adds a focus to my posts that was not there before, and it is really fun to read the variety of fascinating approaches to your idea.<br /><br />As for those lovely hens, I can only say that your post makes me really happy. They are so content and so fortunate to have found you. I love that you have named them, understand their personalities and care about their happiness. Looking forward to lots more news about them in the future.Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-38778108429199156402012-07-19T04:02:30.507+01:002012-07-19T04:02:30.507+01:00Lucky hens, - wonderful Accomodation.

Our dogs have free run of the garden, so I am hoping their scent keeps foxes away. Our hens go into the shed around 9pm at the moment, later in the summer (remember that word?) and we ensure they are locked safe for the night.<br /><br />ABC is such fun - you will be very welcome.mrsnesbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882736507772457598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-73042010047689061422012-07-18T16:42:43.241+01:002012-07-18T16:42:43.241+01:00What a cute post !

Our next-door neighbour has hens - their area is next to our boundary fence and they don't roam free like yours do, although they have quite a lot of space. Mind you, they couldn't have the run of the garden as there are also four dogs next door, and two of them are border terriers who like to catch the hens if they do get out. Do you have a problem with foxes?<br /><br />I haven't joined in with ABC Wednesday for a while, in fact I think the last one I did was for the letter C. Maybe I'll manage to do some posts this time round.Margaret @ BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-33697878499067357012012-07-18T03:50:21.786+01:002012-07-18T03:50:21.786+01:00Hello Denise, your hens look very healthy and happ...Hello Denise, your hens look very healthy and happy.
