Chickens

We've just been and picked up 3 chickens who were up for rescue, we have Harriet, Gloria and one as yet unnamed one. They're all brown and buff and seem to be quite healthy I was a bit nervous that they'd be ex battery hens, but these seem in far to good condition for that, so I think they've been free range birds. Fearn of course was fascinated by them, but calmed down once she'd helped me make thier beds and feed them, I think she will end up being quite protective of her chickens.

    The story of builinding the chicken coop is a long and sorry one, that led to arguments and eventually the police being called.

    The coop is in the orchard, I opend the door for them this morning but I don't think they've ventured out yet, they were all in their nesting box, but said good morning when I opened the lid and seemed quite pleased to see me, I will go and see if they've laid any eggs.
