A busy day finishing off the hurdles, building a hay feeder from an old iron bedstead, tidying the barn and attending to fences. Then a trip to St G to collect the new chicken and some hay for the lambs. The introduction of a new chicken was pretty as brutal as the cockerell asserted his dominance, then the other hens established their pecking order. Hopefully tomorrow things will have calmed down and the new chicken will be accepted.
The sheep arrived at about 9.00 just as it was getting dark. We carried them down to the barn and put them into their pen - photos tomorrow. They're Tarasconnais - a local mountain breed, hardy, with long legs. Need to get them some bells but in the local agricultural co-op even the smallest ones are 38 euros each! Think I might have to take a hammer to some old tin cans and make my own.
