Hi
All good here thanks.
My 3 chicks have integrated really well into the flock. They were 3 weeks old on Monday. Sadly, it's looking like they are all cockerels. There are 2 definite males with large combs that are already pink. I might be lucky and the other one might be female, but I think I'm kidding myself!
Had a lovely ride out this afternoon with my sister who brought one of her horses over from Sunderland. There is a 15 mile fun ride here on Monday so Jack is staying in my paddock until then and my sister is coming back to ride out on him again in the morning. Then Jack will get the day off on Sunday. I will be riding one of my partner's horses on Monday as mine are not fit enough to do the ride and his have just finished the hunting season so 15 miles and 30 jumps will be nothing to them.... I will be knackered though!!!! It's nice to have Jack back to stay for a few days. I bred him and he is a full brother to mine but sadly there is no brotherly love between my 2 lads, Rebel and Rascal and him. Hate would definitely be more appropriate! I left Rebel standing at the paddock gate making sure Jack doesn't think he's going to go anywhere else!
Wondering how Luddite is doing with her new coop and chicks?
