We have three apple trees fanned out along a wall and they are filled with apple blossom just now. While I was pottering about this afternoon out of the corner of my eye I noticed blossom falling and at first didn't think much about it, until I heard clucks. I turned around and here was Connie bouncing up and down like Tigger pulling off the petals and buds and eating them! Now DH had paid a lot of money for these trees so you can imagine my horror . Added to that, he loves the fact that our granddaughter always looks for granddads apples . Then to compound matters even more, he took delivery today of a polytunnel to go over his raised beds to keep the hens out as they were either digging up or eating what he'd planted . Get chickens he said. They'll be fun he said!

Thanks guys. No it definitely won't, absolutely love my girls; chickens make the coolest pets. And thank you. Nice of you to say. We tried very very hard to keep her going. Very sad. But sadly one of those things. Thanks to everyone on here, you guys were so helpful.
