Uno is very special. She's not only hatched a large clutch of her own but naturally adopted Jellybean's clutch when she passed unexpectedly. Now the chicks are 9 weeks old, Uno has a giant puddle of gold surrounding her. Isn't it wonderful? #chickens #teamfloof #thegoodlife

No, I haven't grown a beard. This is Hugh, my fabulous husband who runs the account @engcountrylife and who has taken over chicken duties while I can't get to the field. I love watching the team with him. I'm very lucky to be married to him. #chickens #teamfloof #thegoodlife

We're often asked why our hens that we sell are so friendly. This is why they're handled from day 1 and grow up spending time with us. #chickens #teamfloof #thegoodlife

It's been 2 days of lows and highs with our small flock. Yesterday we sadly and unexpectedly lost the wonderful Jellybean who had 3 week old chicks. Uno stepped in & has merged her and Jellybeans chicks into a GIANT brood. Good little Uno 🥰 #chickens #teamfloof #thegoodlife

Today, the weather has been HORRIBLE. Liquorice very sensibly took her tiny chicks back to their coop. She also took them to bed early, and I managed to capture this set of images. Watching the chicks fall to sleep is just priceless. #chickens #teamfloof #thegoodlife

You might have noticed there has been no chicken content from me for a number of days. Unfortunately, it will be months before I will be back to normal. In the words of the surgeon, "You've managed to explode the tibia and fibula bones." #thegoodlife #thegoodlifegonewrong

Uno is our super broody. Uno believes that every chick in the world belongs to her. It makes it very easy to give her extra chicks. All we have to do is lift her slightly from the front and pop the chicks underneath her. She took to them brilliantly as we knew she would.

Cabbage swingball! We had a cabbage that had sustained quite a lot of caterpillar damage, so the chickens benefit from a treat direct from the vegetable patch. #chickens #teamfloof #thegoodlife

Why do I spend so much time with my chickens? For two reasons. First, it is good for my mental health and helps me reset my brain. Second, it allows me to handle the chickens easily, so for suspected health issues, I can take action swiftly #chickens #teamfloof #thegoodlife

This is Gannet in 2019 with her last clutch of chicks. She was the last of our original Orpingtons and became a cherished pet. At the ripe old age of 8 Gannet passed away quietly in her sleep last night. She will be missed. #floofs #chickens #teamfloof #thegoodlife
