things get broken ,chickens have a heart attack and the window cleaner cannot believe his eyes as one of the glamorous super model pigs sashied by ,and like a masked raider ,made tracks for the chicken run to get stuck into their food. Several smashed eggs later, an unholy rabble in the buff orpingtons ,and a broken chicken feeder/water bucket/gate, we manage to wrestle Miss Porker 2011 back into her woodland home and back to her compadres who had sensibly stayed put . No help from window cleaner either but luckily he didn’t get thrown off his ladder as the cavalcade went by. Animals are stress factor number one at the moment with lambing on the prairies.The agony and the extascy of lambs as they teeter on the edge between survival and oblivion all in a puff of wool !
