Our Bonfire


We are having a Bonfire tomorrow. We have lots of wooden pallets & old doors from the building work & also our chicken pen to burn (forgot to tell you, all my chickens have gone to chicken heaven after they met Mr.Fox )
Never had any fireworks at home, but have decided that as the cats don't seem to care one bit when all the fireworks have been going off, that we will for once have a few small ones for the children. Our garden is big enough that we can have them well away from the cat pens. Just going to be me, John & the girls & my brother-in-law Steve & his daughter. Should be good fun. The children have made a guy.

Re: Our Bonfire


Oh Smudgley, did Mr Fox take all your chickens?

Hope you and your family have an enjoyable bonfire!

Re: Our Bonfire


Cried my eyes up!
Ashleigh had been to get the eggs & locked them out of the pen. So they were in a big run, but nowhere to roost. We didn't realise & when I went down the next morning I saw some feathers by the fishpond...... nothing new there, thought the cats had got a bird,then I got closer & noticed they were brown! BROWN FEATHERS! Then I went to the chicken pen. Nothing to be seen except a few feathers. Took the lot. My 7 hens that I'd had from "day olds" (they were now 2 years)

Sorryto hear about your chickens smudgley. Hope you have a great bonfire night. We're just having some small fireworks but no bonfire (unless I can convince OH to clear out the back of the garden before tomorrow).

Re: Our Bonfire


Poor, poor chickens. I do like foxes, but really hate it when they do this, nature though I suppose. Sorry to hear this Smudgley.

Hope you enjoy your bonfire & fireworks. I do love fireworks and able to enjy them more this year as for once I don't have a terrified dog! Caleb really isn't too bothered.
