Day Five

(*fx Geordie accent) And it’s Day Five in the Big Chicken House…

The girls are finally beginning to settle in. Although the Newbies (as Jessy and Lola are becoming known) are still very nervous about associating with the Oldies (aka Kirsty and Martha), and are spending most of their time up on the shelf of the greenhouse, they are beginning to gain confidence. Big Chickens John and Anne have been in a couple of times and forcibly put the Newbies down on the ground where they have access to food and water, where they have been tolerated for oooh – up to 10 minutes.

And this evening we’ve had a breakthrough – Jessy has been allowed to eat and drink – as (more grudgingly) has Lola. And they’ve both been into the Eglu to check out the sleeping accommodation.

Who are you calling chicken?

That is so lovely!

Hey – John could be the geordie chappie and you could be Davina!!

Mikey’s been off school today with a minor ailment. It’s been a bit like your henhouse (if I may refer to such grand accommodation as a henhouse….?) in our house today – him upstairs, her downstairs; divide and rule!

So, Big Chicken, how do you knit and spin with your wings?
