    One and a half hours. The water in the coop froze over night so it was cold. We had a look at Glais's ear. He's got a scar but no blockage we could see, He wasn't impressed with his examination.

    I have posted a picture, or rather a few, every day for the past four years, bar those days when I've been too sick to get to the field, say 360 days out of 365.:D Even on those days I've posted pictures that whoever did the chickens for me have taken. By Bob who got me started on the project...

    I find they're, or at least some are, fine at the digging bit. Henry for example really did help when he was of a mind to. It's the planting bit and after that they don't score very well on.:lol:

    My friend who came to dinner Christmas Eve has mentioned thsi band a few times. In general I don't like covers and I'm not a fan of teen pop/Kpop. He sent me a couple of links and despite my prejudices, I had a listen. They're very good. Well recorded as well.:lol:

    One and a half rather cold hours. For a couple of hours late afternoon the sun shone and while it did everyone stayed out in the extended run. Glais has got the idea. Mow and Sylph are not interested, or clueless.:rolleyes: I'm getting a rough idea of what Glais thinks is adequate cover. Of...

    Much the same here. I have to keep them in the extended run if I want to do anything other than watch chickens.:D

    One and a half hours. Grey skies, lighter wind than yesterday, 4C. They came out without any encouragement. Mow was firs to have enough; she is still moulting but it's more grow then shed now. Sylph went back to the run once Mow had gone under the coop and stayed out for another fifteen minutes...

    Being in a similar position the only method I've found that works is to stay with the chickens when they're on the field.

    Two chilly hours. Still got that bitter North Easterly wind. They came out to eat and forage for half an hour in the extended run then took shelter under the coop.
