Oxfordshire Farm suffers spate of anti-social behaviour
Chickens have died and goats let out of their enclosure in a series of incidents at Cogges Manor Farm in Witney.
There are calls to clamp down on anti-social behaviour following a spate of incidents at an Oxfordshire farm.
Cogges Manor Farm in Witney say some of their chickens have died and goats lets out of their enclosure.
They're asking local people and parents to stay vigilant in a post on social media.
The Farm say on one night the chicken houses were opened, which sadly resulted in the passing away of a few of their Buff Sussex chickens, a rare breed. In another, one of their goats was let out of his enclosure which caused him significant distress.
In the post on their Facebook page they say:
"We plead with all parents, who may not know were their children are in the evenings, to relay that the death of our chickens is a terribly sad loss to us, our volunteers and young visitors.
