We seem to be getting some *firsts* here. Wrold, naughty girl, is in broody jail in a cat carrier. I have been keeping her with the flock. She has her own food & water & I just move the carrier around but it means I need to check on her first thing as invariably the food & water have been knocked over. So out I toddled in my jammies & the girls started screaming as soon as they heard the screen door even though they couldn't see me yet. They know I'm up & about so the
Let me out, let me out! started immediately even though they know no~one is going anywhere until I have me some eggs. It was noisier this morning. I found all the Littlies @ their door making a racket to be let out too!

There was a small stampede, lots of running & flapping & happy excited noises so I guess I'm becoming less of an ogre. The big girls are eyeing them off jealously. Not happy, Jan!
