    TRAPPERMAN , LONG GRASS = DEAD CHICKS IN WET WEATHER I PREFER TO PEN THE CLOCKER AND CHICKS AT AN EARLY AGE ... USUALLY AN ARK TYPE PEN WHICH IS LIFTED UP AT THE FRONT ALLOWING THE CHICKS TO ROAM A SHORT WAYS FROM THE PEN BUT ................ KEEPING THE CLOCKER FROM DRAGGING THE CHICKS ALL OVER ....... IN WET WEATHER YOUR LOSSES WILL BE HIGH DUE TO THEM CHILLING IN WET GRASS ....... SOME HENS ARE CONSTANTLY DRAGGING THE BROOD ALL OVER ALL THE BEST DUCKWING

    I've had some fun in that quarry over the years! We used to rake around over there with some champion racing whippets owned by a bloke who used to drink in the Cross Keys. He'd have killed us if he knew we were running them around there. We were all mad keen on the dogs back then and we all wanted terriers. There seemed to be loads of that stamp around back then but they're all but gone around there now. There used to be one that used to roam the streets around Sunnydale, always carrying a half brick in it's mouth...used to terrify us! We all went our way in the end and I'm the only one out of
