This morning the new hens had their wings clipped so I can safely allow them to free range the garden without fear they will take flight - and fright - and fly over the fence and potentially, into someone's casserole dish.
It takes just a few moments to clip them but 15 times longer to catch them!
So I after consulting my chook library to remind myself of the correct procedure, I then asked a kind friend hold the little madams and snip, snip, they are now free to roam.
Just came across an article I wrote for the excellent EUREKA STREET magazine a few years ago on the love of books and reading.
