This black hen disappeared a few weeks ago, I was convinced she had been taken by a passing fox and had given up hope of seeing her again. 2 days ago John asked if I was missing a hen as he had found one sitting on some eggs in the big bale straw! Yesterday the eggs started hatching and she is now the proud mother of 4 gorgeous, fluffy chicks!
