24 hours on...

Hi there, Snowball here.  Just a little update on the first 24 hours of our new location and how the settling in process has gone.

I got a little unsettled late morning and started to ruffle the feathers of the others by doing some rather loud squawks and deciding the run up and down the side of the run and then up and down the ramp, throwing the neatly shredded newspaper around in the coop and the nestboxes and generally making rather a nuisance of myself.  The reason?  Well, I was just wanting to work out quite where best to lay a negg.  As noon came I found myself up in the coop and spent 27 minutes rather quietly sitting and finally having a little something to show for the efforts.  Jane waited a few mins after I had come back down the ramp and then I heard her in the nesting box and reckon that she must have taken it as it wasn't there last time I looked.  Here it is:

I don't remember seeing the number "1" written on it when I looked - how odd.

So, our first negg - am I right calling it a negg?  I'm sure that's the word I heard - I will have to listen out and see what they get called.

As to the rest of the afternoon - well, some of us have been out and about - not sure that we will be let out again until we are a little more sure of our surroundings but Ginger Nut and Cuckoo went out - they went together - and then Bluebell had a little go too - for some reason I have not been allowed out - I rush to the door each time anyone presents themselves but they never seem to let me out - one day maybe... here is Bluebell eyeing up the kitchen.

We had a little treat after our exercise too - some cooked basmati rice - yummy!  Chicken & Rice - that gives me an idea for a recipe!
