Our flock of chickens at Happy House has been almost wiped out by a virus infection.
We have just two birds remaining after a serious disease, affecting flocks in our area, reached our chicken run.
It such a setback as we were growing or flock well and the kids loved helping to look after the birds which were producing eggs to be used in our kitchen- our picture of Brian feeding the chickens is from a few months ago.
Here a very sad Papa Dave explains more.
