Black Rocks on the Fell


After a brief trip cycle touring in Orkney, which by the way is awesome, we returned to the fell ready to pick up the next new arrivals. 3 Black Rock chicks. This meant in the wet summer we had to build a coop and a pen, bearing in mind that several of next doors Rhode Island crosses had been snaffled by the rogue fox. We wont be due eggs till mid november. However, without personalising them too much, they have each developed a personality and they provide many hours of joy. A welcome distraction when the muse wont visit and inspiration is low.
