Feeding chickens in front of the farmhouse door, Skomer Island, c.1880s

Photograph of Eliza Stephens, a farm servant, feeding chickes in the courtyard of the island farmhouse.
The Davies family bred and sold chickens, ducks and turkeys, and sent a large number of eggs to the mainland: a very fragile cargo to be carried in a small boat across the turbulent waters of the sounds.
