Had a little surprise today when I did an evening check today. They were all in the process of hopping up the ladder to the roost and settling in for the night when I noticed that my little baby Cupcake was also on the ladder! She was struggling to get up it because the rungs are a lot further apart on that one than the silkie's own, but she seemed very determined to make it to the big girls roost... until she realised her siblings were not so keen and began to panic. AJ was blocking her way down and she was very reluctant to fly down, so I stuck out my hand and she hopped onto it and I lowered her to the ground where she ran up the little ladder to the silkie's platform and settled down and fell asleep.
I was astonished by the fact that she would even be brave enough to hop onto a single rung of the big ladder, let alone actually want to sleep with the big girls. I, in fact, expected that they would never sleep on the roost and would always sleep on the silkie platform!
They grow up so fast!!

. I think they are coming up to 16 or 17 weeks old. It is raining a lot recently but I have been letting them out anyway they just spend most of the day under a bush or something. Yep, that’s about it!
