The new tenants at the farm where I go to walk the girls have just got some lovely free-range hens. How do I know this? Because Lochan dived through the hedge and brought me one as we got back to the car this morning......
Re: Hens [quote author=debsie link=topic=4173.msg49386#msg49386 date=1390493552] still guffawing.....your cousins Cuillin and Brodick salute you.... [/quote] Ah that is so sisters !!!!And just like with my sister( who I see every day and in the context of young kids not dogs )whatever untoward event has happened we say THANK GOD NOT ME! ;D ;D ;D
Re: Hens Lochan has a very soft mouth and the hen survived the experience completely unharmed. I discreetly stuffed it back through the hedge....just hope it isn't going to be a recurring theme, although I reckon the local foxes will stop it being a problem pretty soon
Re: Hens Oopsie. Glad the hen survived the experience. Free ranging is lovely.....until the local fox comes by, as you say... Fencing definitely a good idea! I've got some friends whose chickens were killed by their neighbour's dog and in 'compensation' the neighbours bought them some ready-to-roast chickens from the supermarket. Since the birds were actually pets the gift didn't go over too well....
Re: Hens Brilliant Lochan. Although the way I feel about hens I wouldn't have minded if you'd had a snack.

Re: Hens Let's just say me and hens don't get on. not that I would wish them harm but ...... If somebody swapped ours for ready to roast I'd be quite happy. ;D
Re: Hens Oh Lochan!! ;D Hope this doesn't become a habit… Must say on our one and only shoot so far, when Pops dispatched and brought back a pheasant runner, I did think 'no chicken will ever be safe after this'… How do farmers train their gun dogs not to chase and eat their chickens?
Re: Hens No hen incidents this morning I'm glad to say. Lochan gave the hedge a very calculating look before being rapidly called to heel....
