3 missing Hens

[Helen Anderson]

Hi, if anyone has seen 3 hens, (they have disappeared from The Croft on Chapel lane), please can you let us know. We have a white one, a black one and a brownish one with white speckles. They are quite independent and often potter up the lane and along the verges but always come home - except they didn't return on Monday evening and we haven't seen them since. Thanks, Helen

Thanks Rob. Unfortunately we found a pile of white feathers in the area that your wife had spotted her, so I think you may well be right about not seeing that one again! Thankfully, a kind neighbour had spotted the other 2 and taken them in for safe keeping, so we are very grateful to have had them returned home safe and well!

Hi Helen, Sorry to hear your news; did you see the comment below by my wife?  Unfortunately, with the number of foxes and badgers in the village that may be the last you'll see of them :-(  Rob.
