I find the multi-quote thing doesn’t really like it if you want to quote from different pages, it deletes the quote if you move to a different page.

I open BYC on multiple tabs for that.

I like eating breakfast with the little ones their peeps are lovely. Lorna is snoozing, Edie is preening and Katie is stretching her wing out over a stretched back leg like they do.

Your not going to want them to go outside when the time comes.

Katie's discovered the wonder of bathing in actual dirt!!

She told her friends and now there's a rush on.

It'll be good to see them take up a more chickeny lifestyle though. Weeds and bugs, that sort of thing.

None of the marks are showing. But number two is top right.

Ivy is laying her eggs in the little coop, but Janet and Peggy are using the trusty laundry basket.

Yesterday Mary did not roll Ivy's egg in with the others.

Looking over, I can see Mary's still drinking. She's been at the water for almost 10 minutes. It was warm yesterday and will be warm again today. So I'm glad she's taking lots of water.

It seems she knows what she's doing . I find it so intriguing,the whole broody thing !

The pullets have coped with the weather. They're not even panting.

So, I'll use the same cooling arrangements until the weather breaks.

The instinctive knowledge of what to do is amazing!

The pullets continue to eat and drink well. Their feeder goes down by 3-5cm a day. The straw bale is looking scruffy from them eating all the little pieces. The water goes down every day at about the same rate as the food.
