And now chicken rustlers!

On top of having to cull many of our Scots Grey cockerels, we’ve now had one of the remaining roosters stolen overnight.

We had two cockerels living temporarily in the generator room at the end of the steading, while we decided what to do with them.

The room is stone walled, has a closed window, two small air vents and a door with both a latch and drawbolt. We were keeping the cockerels in there because it’s both secure from foxes and dark for much longer than the chicken houses.
