Hilda checks out her new home in Jan Juc.
The new gals – Hilda, Gidget III , Philly III and Laura – have settled in a bit.
After arriving last Friday evening, they tumbled out of their cardboard box and into the run. After much blinking, clucking and investigating their new home, these new point-of-lay hens seem to spend a fair bit of time roosting on the old ladder by the lemon tree in their pen – partly because they like the view, can eat insects off the lemon leaves and partly because the older hens Layne and Ledgergirl can’t harass them up there.
But tonight I grabbed each one and put her in the lockable chook shack hutch as they are all going to have to get along at some point.
And you know what?
All six snuggled down in the straw, as happy as pigs in mud.
No doubt tomorrow they will be arguing and feathers flying, but tonight at least, there’s peace and quiet from Cluckingham Palace.
