Brother Martin de Porres is the faithful director of our 50-strong flock of Bantam and standard-size hens. The birds know Brother Martin and follow him faithfully wherever he goes in Abbotsfield, the chickens’ stomping ground during the day.
At sunset, the hens all scurry to their heated coop, for a well deserved rest after roaming and running all day, and even producing a dozen or more eggs.
Saint Brigid of Kildare, patroness of chickens, pray for our flock and for us.
