What was this little chick doing out of the house this morning and how had he got out?

We might have to move Mrs Silk and chicks to a more secure location. Cheeky chick.

An afternoon pulling Bedfordshire Champion onions and waiting for visitors

Yesterday, when I took our friend to see the hens and chicks, we discovered Mr Silkie asleep in his house. Only he wasn’t asleep he had expired, quietly and privately. He is now buried in the vineyard. This morning Mrs Silk and the chicks were a bit agitated and, by mistake, I left their door open. They were out in the run in double quick time and I had to round them up and put them back inside to keep them safe. This little one gave me a bit of a runaround.

Sorry for your loss Mrs Silkie and chicks.

Let’s hope we all remain friends
