Agapanthus are flowering freely at the moment so it is a good time to think about how you can stop them from spreading by deadheading them.
In some parts of New Zealand they are considered an invasive weed.

We rescued a large decorative white chicken from our back lawn at 2am - as it was obviously in distress. Had been pretty well chewed round the neck but still squawking. We put it in a makeshift box in the garage to see if it would survive overnight.
Still going at 8am, so took it to our vets who were appreciative.
Unfortunately some neck tendons were severed so it had to be put down.
If you are missing a white chicken, that may be why.
