During this week, whenever we finished work with a bit of sunshine still in the field we would get a couple of shandies and a few olives and sit by the chicken coop and see what they were up to. Thelma was definitely top hen, and she and Bob were the quickest to get any slugs or clover (favourite treats) that we fed them. Louise was more shy, but better at scrabbling – she would find things in the earth that the other two would chase her for – she’d dart from corner to corner to try to keep it to herself, but they would sooner or later, be too fast for her. Poor Louise.
It came on to rain on Friday, and soaked the chicken food, so we gave them our umbrella. This also kept their dust bath dry, so they were very pleased.
