Opened the door

[Gedd]

Opened the door and they all came in will let them run in and out for a while feeding them outside so it's easier to feed them in the shed

You've got plenty of straw then? My gang are staying out till the last possible moment and even then it'll be too soon!

I do like to them enjoying a shed though.

You can feel that 'autumn chill' coming on here, as the day starts to go now.

They look in good nick - be a shame to let 'em slip back by laying cold at night if you've plenty of straw.

I've plenty straw had a carry over from last year

Just because you have the straw, don’t waste it! It’s a valuable asset and should be treated accordingly. Unless you’re in a part of the country where it’s cheap as chips of course.

But seriously, business sense would be to realise the value by selling it, if it’s not needed - what would the neighbours give you for it ?

 

[Gedd]

Will probably sell some in the new year when I know I've definitely got enough

Plenty straw here an I would rather turn it into dung than sell it. Any surplus goes under neighbour's cattle and then comes back here.

That’s what I paid for the rounds I bought, but I keep reading on here that’s it’s like hens’ teeth in some parts of the country.

Point is that just because we’re looking at something that cost us nowt, doesn’t mean that’s its value and we should waste it.

 

[Chae1]

Ours are outside still. Gates open if they want inside. Rain doesn't seem to be bothering them!

 

[Bill dog]

Is this earlier than normal or about the same timescale?

Always leave the gates open , sooner they lay in the shed than tread the gateways

£5 A BALE . costs 2 quid to bale , ruthless .

I could have haggled I suppose, but he's a nice guy and caught me when I was feeling flush.

I don’t think that straw is going to make it own way in!
