Hideous Beast Stalks Our Animals

5 February 2008
Two Paddocks

Waitangi Day celebrations at Redbank marked by startling disturbances in the animal department. Stampedes and noisy alarums – whinnying, squeals, baahing: all of this sounded like terror had struck the fold.

However it seems a visit by Hugh Jackman, in full WOLVERINE mode, had our flock not in fear but instead in a lather. Hugh graciously stood up to the stampede looking for autographs. The Suffolk sheep in particular have been Wolverine fans – funny old world! Many chickens happily back to the chookrun with Hugh’s signature under their wing, what a gent!
