Can’t thank everyone enough for sponsoring us will let everyone know the grand total tomorrow as we have got cash donations too 💰

We may get soaked tomorrow but we will complete the event as it is so important to the 4 of us (myself, lily, Clara and Isla)

If anyone would like to sponsor us the link is below. I will be tied up having treatment for the next 9 months so everyone will be relieved to know I will not be harassing anyone for sponsorship for a while 🤣

Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.

Yesterday during the fox attacks, boris our sheep made us away about this little lady, thankfully we got to her in time to save her from being killed but unfortunately she has a broken leg due to the fox trying to take her but thankfully it will heal in time 🙏

16/06/2022

Not the fox! We have had an evening clipping the girls wings 🐔 we have electric fencing but some of them fly over and this is how the fox is getting them so they shouldn’t be flying over anymore! 💪🏻

16/06/2022

Poor Cinderella hasn’t been seen for 2 days now, drake ( her husband ) is heartbroken and seems so depressed. We assume the fox has taken her after yet again more attacks on the girls, by the looks of it at least 4 more girls have been taken 😢

13/06/2022

After a pretty awful few days for the girls and boys the girls are laying again so if anyone wants eggs just let us know

12/06/2022

Next Saturday myself, Lily (14), Clara (12), Isla (5) and our 2 dogs Skittle and George will be taking part in Race for life. We have previously done Race for Life but this year means a lot to us as a family as for those that don’t know I have breast cancer and will be starting my chemotherapy very soon. I have already had my surgery so we won’t be running but will be walking and will get to the end. If anyone would like to sponsor us we would really appreciate it.
Thank you 🐓

New hen house for 9 of our rescues plus BFG the cockerel 🐓 🏠 made of recycled plastic ♻️

10/06/2022

So upset, 12 hours after posting the video, a fox got into our electric fencing and killed both of our cockerels. What makes it worse was they died protecting their girls, Rocky was found dead covering one of the girls. 😢 heartbroken lying here and I can hear BFG crowing but there is no response now unlike every other morning 😢 RIP Fowler and Rocky 😢
