We have rigged up a temporary enclosure for the new gals. This will allow them some space from our own hens.
Two of the hens have slight weak leg problems - nothing major - time, better diet and environment will sort these problems out, but hens detect weaknesses and our girls could quite easily bully them, so this will suit them.
They will enjoy foraging too. Hopefully clearing the area of weeds over the next few days.
Whilst I was recording this scene I was aware of Ted, the English springer in next door's garden - you will spot him at the end! lol!
Aw, they sure seem to be settling in well.
ReplyDeleteSpringers (shudder) had one of those loopy guys, once.
lol Shrinky - aye Springers are loopy to say the least. I look after Ted during the week whilst his owners work - a lovely lovely boy. So well trained too xxx
Deletedidn't know hens could be bullies!
ReplyDeleteOh most definitely Roger - they are basically birds who find the pecking order. Hopefully sorted now - you'll see.
DeleteThe hens look happy and th ebounding puppy looks as if he is enjoying himself
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog comment. I don't have an airing cupboard I miss it.
The airing cupboard is a legend here! All washing dried - even though it was pouring down!
DeleteLove the video, it's nice to see the hens enjoying themselves, hear the birds and the breeze, and see the neighbor dog playing!
ReplyDeleteIndeed Dimple - Ted is such a little star!
DeleteGreat video. Will Ted chase the chickens ?
ReplyDeletePlease take a video of the chickens eating spaghetti. I can't wait to see that.
cheers, parsnip
Parsnip - I have - watch this space!
