...Jane here, just getting a quick few words in before I go to bed - I deserve an early night methinks. Today my girls have met the "boyfriend" who came by to see them briefly before we went out for a couple of hours. I think he liked them! He has the job of naming the black one with the copper neck - he is already feeling the pressure - he wants to be their mother for a day then he'd know the meaning of the word!
Anyways, I snuck back in at 9.40 pm and turned the dining room light on to see how many of them were just sitting around or looking confused like this time yesterday and, hold onto your hats... they were all upstairs in bed!
I took the torch to them just to count them but to be honest it was not possible - they were just all chuntering away with their eyes shut alongside each other - a sign of settling in I guess?
No time like the present - I took the run off, swept out the bark, bagged it, scraped up any residual mess, sprayed it down with Poultry Shield, cleaned and refilled the water (a la garlic) and the feeder then put a bucket of bark and cut straw laced with DE at the ready for tomorrow and reassembled the run, locking it and latching it and now for a well-earned glass of lager - after a scrub up of course.
Night night!
