Dry, warm at 21C and mostly sunny.
Got a text from C telling me the chicks had all got out and were on the wrong side of the fence with Fret fretting on the other. C got them back in and I found the gap this afternoon and closed it off.
I took them onto the field again today for an hour and a...
Sorry about the post. I was trying to post using my mobile phone. Not sure what happened.
St Johns wort. We had a few plants on the smallholding in Catalonia. I don't know if the chickens ate it or not. The Catalonian farmers dug it up and burnt it. Anti depressants are in general dangerous...
1 pm to 8.30 pm today. Warmish in the sunshine. It got a bit chilly in the evening.
I thought Fret was going to get up there with them for a moment.:eek: This is not something one wants. It becomes a habit and they'll try to roost there for the night. I've done my bit of getting chickens out...
I got the impression that Mow was looking for something/s in particular when she went into the field. She's quite particular in what she eats. The difference in what and where Mow forages is noticable when compared to the others.

One and a half hours this morning and one and a half this afternoon.
It's been raining not hard but on and off most of the day, just enough to turn the day dreary. It's got chilly with it 7C with wind.
We all got out both times despite the light drizzle.
The chicks have been pairing up, like...
The probability is they will all have to go within a very narrow time frame.
An unfortunate fact about same hatch mulitple cockerels is some, not all, form gangs and terrorise the hens and piss the roosters off.
I've had both. It was bad enough with gangs free ranging, at the field there is no...
An hour this morning and two hours this afternoon. It stayed dry at around 12C.
From the morning.
Henry has found himself a new nest.
This afternoon. That;s full size mix on the right in the small bowl and crushed mix on the right. The wheat is still just a bit to big for them.
