Last night, as I said, I was asked to clean out and put the ladies to bed on my own. Emma had to go out...
(Un)fortunately, when I went out to do it, it was starting to turn to dusk and all 4 had already gone to bed! They just needed me to close the door. :)
Don't worry though, they were cleaned out 1st thing this morning and are no worse for it.
FINALLY, Piper has stopped barking at the chickens. Emma says that Piper even went outside today (between showers) and went to sleep lying next to the run. She also now no longer gets agitated when we go into the run without her and sits and waits at the door until we come out.
We didn't take any photos today but I will try to catch her sleeping outside and again and take a couple.
Trying the hens on different vegetables to see what they like...
...Today was broccoli.
...Yesterday was cauliflower. They didn't touch the cauliflower. They tried a little of the broccoli.
I am not sure if its because they don't like the veg, or they don't exactly know what to do with it!
...Tomorrow we'll try them on home-grown tomatoes and strawberries. Watch this space...
Days without eggs: 3
