Well, lost our first chicken yesterday.
She wasn't very well Monday night, had no energy at all, just lay there. She was the same Tuesday morning and when I got home from work on Tuesday she was dead.

It was very unexpected, she'd been the healthiest (and fattest) chicken out of the lot of them, always making loads of noise (when we got out of the car coming home from work, you could always hear her shouting for food!) and always giving Molly and peck whenever she could be bothered.

I'm sure she won't be the last chicken we lose unexpectedly, just part of life.

Have had the first of my Broad Beans. They are very nice indeed. Loads more left to eat now and looks like more are growing, so will be eating them for a while.
Potatoes are very nice, good size and very tasty.
