They are getting there! As for the chickens, well, for critters that hate any kind of change as much as they do, watching them get over that initial uncertainty, get more comfortable, and then BAM! suddenly adapt has always been one of the most interesting parts of observing their behaviors!

How scared are they really? How long will it take them to figure out the new environment? And how long until we look out and see them totally settled and content? Just fascinates me!

If you think about it...their not that much different from ourselves, when presented with the same kind of situation....maybe we as 'humans' don't show it as acutely as animals do but the uncertainty is there and 'we feel it' and show it, too!

They actually couldn't wait to get out of their cramped cage and start exploring. They were thrilled to find a cow pat! I was surprised at how happy they seemed. Hopefully they won't miss us too much until we get there. Their coop is the same so that should help them feel at home.

Here's our caravan - there's the kitchen leading to the sofas which turn into our bed (still have to figure that bit out). We have a TV to install which also plays DVDs so the kids will appreciate that on a wet day. My tiny fridge is to the right of the little gas oven (furthest away). I've got a good amount of bench space compared to some caravans though. Unfortunately the microwave won't work without mains power (we just have a solar panel) but we'll survive. And there's a gas heater to keep us cozy over winter. (Excuse the post rammer on the floor and the water tanks that are still to be put in place).

Opposite the kitchen is the bathroom which is a decent size considering. At the other end are the bunk beds and dining area. (Excuse the bin of chicken food and jars of oyster shell and seed treats).

The longer seat turns into another bed.

And here's the view out to the ocean:

It's lovely but always windy. I'll try and get a better photo with our big camera next time but I won't be able to download it soon.

So true!! That’s part of why I want a mustang some day. They are just pure horse. Haven’t been tainted or spoiled by humans yet. Pure, honest reactions and emotions and very readable. But of course one also has to be skilled enough for that and to earn it’s trust and train it so it will probably be a longgggg time before I have one. Definitely no first time horse owners horse lol but I do much prefer to work with animals quite often because at least animals are always honest. They don’t lie to you or go behind your back. They’re just upfront and you can usually fairly easily figure out what is wrong and fix it. As opposed to humans who will just keep something inside till it boils over and explodes rather than telling you or act one way to your face, smile even, and act another behind your back. Too exhausting to deal with lol
