Did they have some birthday treats?

 

[Shadrach]

Four hours of tranquility today. Warm sunshine very light wind for the location and contented chickens wandering in and out of the allotment run. The urgency they first seemed to feel at being let out onto the allotments has faded away. I leave the gate open and they wander in and out. It seems the allotment run, the first few metres at the top of the allotments and the compost heap area is enough space in their view. They rarely venture further down the allotment plots than the first couple of plot rows.
I planted while they dug around the fruit bushes. Mackerel for supper. A whole tin today!
Henry had a bath. I could hear him clucking away to himself as I did a bit more weeding.
Lima was much more herself today. It does take her a couple of days to recover from laying a lash egg. I wonder what it is that she find exhausting about it. At least she's getting them out.

I don't know what the problem is. Every so often I can't add any more text after posting pictures.

They all wanted to roost on the coop extension bar this evening. Henry and Lima settled down first. The rest joined then about fifteen minutes later.
I don't want them to roost there until I've got the run door on and that wont be until the coop is in it's proper place. I gave various chickens a nudge or two suggesting they went into the coop but no one budged, not even Fret. So, I picked Henry up off the roost bar. I was expecting some fuss but but he just made nesting coo cooing sounds as I placed him on the ramp just outside the coop door.
He didn't even need a shove. He went in and got straight on the perch. I put Lima in next and the rest followed with a bit of encouragement. Henry and I have come a long way in the last few months. He knows I'm responsible for the new coop and getting him and the hens out and properly fed. He knows I keep his house clean and chickens like clean and minimum dust. I could easily pick him up during the day now and he'll come right up to my legs when I'm sitting down and settle half on my foot.

Maybe its the infection that causes the lash eggs or the pain ghat comes with the proces of ‘laying’ it.
I do feel sorry for her. Live is so much better without fatigue and pain. Give her a big air-kiss from me Shad.

what do you mean with adding tests?

In the past I had sometimes trouble with adding pictures, But then I found that being in this mode:

makes it impossible to post pictures.
It is a mode to change things in the code.
