Chicks!

Well the second batch of chicks have all hatched and are settling in nicely, the first chick that hatched a few weeks back has now come off heat and is also doing ok! Other things we have been upto over the last few days is doing up an old chicken coup and clearing around the green house in which we have planted out more tomatoes and the melons! So busy busy busy! Although most of the day is spent either feeding all the various chicks, chickens, goslings and ducklings and watering plants!

We did also get time to go for a walk in the area which took longer than expected as several footpaths were closed but we did find the site of the roman fort and remains of bath house we had aimed to find!
