Chicken Watch #12: Compound Path

  

Day 63: In order to re-establish the correct balance of power, we have decided to limit their domain.

Chicken Watch #11: Others

Day 56: When we are not tending our own we seek others of their kind.

Chicken Watch #10: Up close and personal

Day 50: As we have learnt, Penelope is not camera shy.

Chicken Watch #09: Coop Innovation 02

 

Day 43: Hot on the heels of a new removable, therefore easier to clean, perch for the nest box I've built and installed a covered food trough. Now fully road-tested, I got a thumb's up from The Hood and feel now we have a mutual respect previous missing from our relationship.

Chicken Watch #08: Hot pursuit

 

Day 36: Even by chicken standards, it seemed a little over the top; it was only a twig in Penelope's mouth but the two lower pecking order fowl's interest was, to say the least, ferocious. Then we realised, the twig had four webbed feet and bulbous eyes, and required human intervention.

Chicken Watch #07: A-ttaaaaaack!

  

Day 31: While The Hood remained detached, Scott gave me "the evils" and surprise, surprise, Penelope went on the attack. Thankfully, I'd attached my anti-peck...attachment.

Chicken Watch #06: Undercover Chickens

 

 

Day 26: Originally (5000BC) jungle fowl, there's still nothing a chicken likes more than a bit of scratching about in the undergrowth. Keen to understand their mysterious ways, I got in there with'em. Once discovered they wasted no time in letting me know their feelings on the intrusion.

Chicken Watch #05: Wash and brush up

Day 20: It might look like Mr Fox has been a-calling but those ruffled feathers are actually the result of a vigourous dust bath. Pass the luffa.

Chicken Watch #04: An Egg Cometh!

Day 17: From arse to egg cup in just 2 hours*. Celebrations heard streets away. 

 

We boiled, we dipped, we compared. And it was good, better. 

Think it was Scott; much patting of feathered back. Well done.

* Conservative estimate

   

UPDATE: Egg Count as of 16.30: 3

Chicken Watch #03: Special Branch

Day 14: Excellent perching technique. Well done girls.
