| Bessy getting curious |

| The new shelter |
Now, remember this is July, I didn't think that there would be much need for rain-proofing anything other than the coop itself.
Today I got bored of wet food and chickens constantly under or in the coop so I built a run within a run. It also works as a food shelter! Genius!
As you can see, they have got quite used to me now (eating corn, literally, out of the palm of my hand) I think I'll try handling the more adventurous tomorrow.
Piper has now chilled out to the point that there has been no barking and no chasing at all. It's almost like she's bored of them coz they don't run.
I'm a little concerned about Bessy though. It looks like she's losing feathers. Long black and white ones. I've just picked her up to check under her wings for anything crawly but she seems clear. Anyone reading this know of what could be causing this?
Emma says she's seen her pulling one from her chest but she's by no means going bald.
Emma's going out now so it looks like I'll be putting them to bed on my own! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!
