114. Another black armband day...

This smallholding business is not only quite tricky but it frequently reminds you of the essential features of our time on this planet - birth, a fight for survival and then inevitable death.

I checked on the chickens yesterday to find that one of the new warrens had not survived the night. I checked with a local expert and apparently a post-mortem does not have to be carried out if the chicken has died at home.

So, NAND0 has quickly become just NAN (0 for zero chickens and D for a dead chicken)


NAN and KFC seem OK - they did not lay for a day as a mark of respect but now are just getting (sitting) back down to it.
