Project Chicken - Learning Fast! - 31/05/2007

"Give a Chicken a Chance"

 

Just a brief update today.

All 4 hens are doing great.

The last few days of true free-ranging has seen all 4 scratchng and unearthing worms + grubs. A healthy helping greens are also supplementing their diet.

The latest developments in the hen house are very encouraging.

We are getting 3 eggs a day from them. 2 are laid in the nest boxes and 1 hen seems to like a nice shady bush outside. 

The sleeping arrangements are the most exciting though.

All 4 were queing up to slepp in the nest boxes until 4 dys ago, 1 started to perch!

Not on the lovely perch rail I had built, oh no! 

Instead, the dividing gate that I installed to keep the hens from my toolstore and indeed their foodstore was being used as a perch.

Tonight, there were 2 hens perching on the gate!!!

Whatever makes them happy :).   

Happy Days!!!
