And so to bed!

My first full chickeny day today...... Woke up at 6am and peeked out the window and lo and behold there was a fox skulking up the end! Thank goodness the run and house are chicken proof! Martha was straight outside and weed right by the run - fabulous territory marking!

Here's Delilah, she loves the camera already!

Ruby is definately the bravest, she loves eating from my hand, a trick that Valerie has learnt from her today as well.

When you first get chickens they aren't always sure where they need to go to bed, so last night i had to show 4 of the girls by popping them in the door of the house - this sounds a pretty simple task, but the run has a pretty small door that you have to crawl through (quite a sticky prospect!).... not even as much fun as it sounds in the dark! I've since made a custom amendment so it's all good now! Tonight though all the clever little ladies took themselves off to bed by 9.15pm! So all i have to do is close the door up so they are snug in their little house!
