You have done an amazing job getting them acclimated so fast. The broodies are proof of that!

Thanks, Bob! I was surprised they adjusted so well given what creatures of habit they are. The cats are only just starting to relax now.

How much free range time are you able to provide them?

I'm managing one and a half hours most days. I go about an hour and a half before dusk and let them out. While they are out I do some weeding and digging and slowly they all come over and have a go themselves. If I could just explain that digging the first couple of inches is fine and we don't need holes big enough to hide in we would get the placed cleared in no time.
Once they've had a couple of weeks of this routine; it's easy to get them all back into their run at dusk, I'll get a couple of full afternoons a week in. There are a couple of places where the fence needs patching. Even though the fence isn't high it's just enough at the moment to stop them wandering to far and me having to search for them.
They're getting used to me now. I chat away to them while I'm there. The legbars decided this evening that I may be a good thing and ate from my hand. They've been a bit standofish until now.

HAPPY CATURDAY, FOLKS.
Marlow has been having short walks in the backyard in a harness. It is obviously exhausting! ​

This sounds wonderful! I'm so pleased this lot get you! They are very lucky chickens!
