Well, it looks like I've found a new home for them. A very nice lady with 2 acres they can enjoy and who already has other livestock. It'll be a shame to see them go because they're so lovely but their welfare must come first.

Glad to hear you have found them a new home ambriel.

so i think i'm going to leave them where they are, so they can come out as and when they want to, i'll put some hardcore or type 1 or something like that down outside their doorway if i cant find breeze block typ e things and just let them get on with it. that way they can choose their own 'lifestyle' which is how i try and keep all my other animals anyways.

makes me feel a bit happier...tho if i could find a unused pony trailer that would be even better

Mine are in at night but have access outside during 'decent' days, but will probably be fastened in when it's not reasonable outside, most weather they like to play out for a while, (naughty girls wouldn't come in tonight, had to use bribery

)

Well, our two girls went away with their new keeper yesterday morning. She's very nice and I've no doubt they'll be very well looked after.

The garden does seem a lot emptier without them though, despite the Kunes barging around like they do, and the hens.

I guess I can start taking down some of the Stalag Luft fences now.

Glad you found someone nice but feel for you. Can't imagine life without my girls.

I know what you mean. They give so much back.

They really weren't enjoying our wet ground though.

Maybe if I can get some better draining land I'll get some more.
