Sign outside local farmshop
Spotted today outside my local farmshop.
Was driving along with gavin1928 and we just had to turn back to get this photograph.

We have 6 hens in a fenced off area of the back garden. This evening 2 of them were perched on top of the fence! Lucky the dog was in the house or now there'd be 4. Wings have been clipped.

Mr. Webster, to the tune of "Ten in the bed"
There were hens on the fence and the little dog said "yum yum yum, yum yum yum"

Funny you should say that Lefty
We had 4 Quail until one flew away. We didn't realise the little things could fly
We now have only 2 due to one making it's way over the fence and into the dogs territory.
Security has been tightened and feathers removed.

Re: Sign outside local farmshop
I had something similar happen years ago.
I used to have 3 Staffordshire Bull Terriers (Zorro, Xena and Cassie, miss them loads
)
My son had a hamster (Hammy, how imaginative
) , that used to get let out around the house on a regular basis in his plastic ball and while he was out, the dogs got shut into the kitchen behind the baby gate.
Hammy would go over toward the gate and tease the dogs but they always left him alone because they were used to being told to 'leave' and me moving the ball away.
This particular day Hammy would not leave it and kept going back. I moved him (again) and told him that if he's not careful he'll get eaten. A couple of minutes later while my back was turned, I heard a loud crack and spun round to see Zorro with his paw through the bars scooping Hammy from the wreckage of a smashed plastic ball. I then watched in horror, and what appeared to be slow motion, as Zorro gulped him up
I rescued a visibly shaking Hammy and gave him a once over. No wounds, thankfully.
All 3 dogs retreated to the far side of the kitchen knowing what had happened was wrong but I kept my cool. After all it wasn't really their fault but Hammy's.
2 days later I noticed Hammy hadn't been out of his house that day so decided to open up his cage to check him. It wasn't like him to stay in bed all day, he was a very active little chap.
Needless to say, he was cold and stiff. It must have been too much of a trauma for the little chap.
We had a service in the front garden for our furry little friend.
