Hen Boarding Hen Hotel

Hen Hotel lol

 

Here are some pics of our first chicken guests that we are looking after for one of our customers who is going abroad for a fortnight.

 

 We wernt going to start our "Hen Hotel" till next year so I suppose this is a trial run so to speak, hen boarding is becoming very popular here in the UK.

 

They will stay in their run for a few days before being let out into the enclosure. Hen paradise or what.

 

 

 

Garlic Spray

For those of you that are into growing vegetables and dont like using pesticides then our Garlic Spray acts very well against greenfly, whitefly etc.

 Simply get a spray bottle fill with water and put half a dozen peeled garlic cloves in the bottle and leave for about a week shaking occasionally, then its ready to go just spray affected plants.

 The longer you leave the garlic spray  the better it is.

 

If you have any remidies of your own it would be great to hear about them.

 

 

Diary

Running a smallholding is not always fun, after a mammoth 11 hour drive yesterday I got home last night completely knackered only to find our feed order had been delivered and was left outside on a pallet.
So calling on great will power I dragged myself down the sheds to put 1 ton of feed away, lovely just what I needed.
