Got home and let the gang out to run around a bit, gave them some grain and dried meal worms to try to keep them close by.
Of course there is always one who goes it alone. Truly is waiting to be let in from the dreary mud.
Had a bit of worry when I only counted 10, figured out it was Rose and went and found her all broody like in the nest box.
I told her she better not be broody!
Then a lone goose decided to land in the field next to the hens which sent them running for cover - my wee Silkies went and under the blue spruce - good girls!
More bed time drama as I put them to bed early, I wanted to leave the end doors open in the barn and I don't have any mesh or screen to keep the hens in, so to bed they went! The wee Silkies decided to go on the high roost again so I let them stay there, I moved them just now when I feed the horses for the night. They are snug in the bottom nest box with the radiant panel as I am sure they r still chilly, their feathers are coming in and they r looking better
Of course Henny Penny always looks good next to her scruffy sisters hahaha.
