2018 & 2019 Fencing

2018 Frenchies Moh And Alex helped with this pallet fence - finally Iynx is going to be contained.

Nearly done

We had to resurrect the old fencing for the original farm that was Helms.

The fence has been lying on the ground for atleast 10 to 20 years ? Couple of new post and good to go, double barbed wire on the top should keep the goats in !

Iynx and snoopy always amoungst the action.

Bit of tractor work to clean it up.

Grass is growing, Julien, Gian-Luca, Jurg and my Dad all at it.

Organised chaos

Jurg getting a bit creative on the gate posts

Julien starting on more pallet fencing 2019

This section finished however we have run out of pallets.

Due to new fire regulations, our boarders have to be 4 m - the back steam sand dune we had to get a special machine in.

Our Moscovy Male Duck

In 2017 we made a chook tractor to move the chooks and ducks around. We had stickfast fleas & one of the ways to fix this problem is to move them every couple of days/weeks for up to 6 weeks to break the life/egg cycle. So this was the last place that we were moving them to. Moved here by my Dad and Francesca and Giulia. Do you know how hard it is to herd a chook ??!! We had a goat problem - Inyx, thinking that she was starving, pushed the fence over that you can see & the fox got 15 of our 30 hens & roosters !! - I'm not sure why we didn't lose any ducks (perhaps the duck was sitting up there all night !) We only found one hen dead body the rest of the 15 were taken somewhere. Needless to say, the surviving flock was put back in the main chook yard/orchard that night - with no flea problem.
