Custard, the eldest of our chickens, has been suffering from a bit of bullying for the last couple of months . The culprits are a pair of crows who fly in to the coop area and eat any bread they find. Custard has been pretending not to notice, almost certainly because she is scared of a fight, despite the fact that the crows are half her size and none too fast.
This week I saw her fighting back, not against the crows but a...blue tit! Custard has a way of running that makes her look like a toddler with a dirty nappy and the sight of her running back and forth across the garden, trying to out pace a flighted bird has made my week!
