Spring has sprung early at Violet Hill Farm with one of my new hens going clucky and successfully hatching (a week ago) the first ever 'home grown' Violet Hill Farm chickens. I could spend hours watching her demonstrate the art of grass pecking and scratching to her fluffy wee children. I'm hooked now and have set up a special nursery area so we can have the ongoing delight of baby chickens running around the orchard.
Such an amazing process - the tiny life squeezed into an oval capsule and finally breaking out...
