Peacock, Peahen and now Peachicks!

Last night We're glad to announce the arrival of six new additions to the Walled Garden family!
Now it may not be quite as important and royal as Kate and Wills new baby but Betty and Barney, our Peahen and Peacock of course, hatched out six beautiful little chicks last night. All are healthy and vibrant and will now be kept in the peacock box until their big and strong enough to avoid being eaten by certain intruders. (foxes, buzzards ect.) 
Last year Betty hatched out five chicks and sadly all were taken by the local foxes. This year though we plan to take extra precautions and make sure all are kept safe and sound!
