    The horses stay out in the Summer and they are put separately in stables with a manger in each when winter comes.
    We have two dogs Polly and Jude. We keep 34 hens and a cock and 29 chickens. We keep them in the hen house. We call the hens "Tuch Tuch" the ducks "Wheet wheet Wheet" the geese "Bathy bathy bathy" the turkeys "Yeeb Yeeb Yeeb"
