Hi Everyone,
I just thought i would show you my new coop, The paperwork says it is good for 13 medium Chickens. It has 3 nest boxes and 2 perches and is very easy to assemble and cost £189.00. The ducks use it as well as 3 chickens. And my warren did not even go off lay for one day. The 3 chicks i got a few weeks ago are blooming nicely, 2 of them definetly look silkie but the third looks like a true mix with silkie tail and head and normal wings and feathers, they are out in the pen everyday, playing tag with the odd worm i give them.
It was so funny the other day it even made my wife laugh (and thats like trying it to get water to flow uphill) my warren came into the utility room were my 4 cats were all laying about, they saw ginger and all shot to the other end of the room and all sat together while ginger drank the water and ate the cat biscuits. Great 1 hen & 4 chickens.
Yesterday something strange happened, i was having breakfast outside watching the fun, the ducks were in the pool and the chickens where running around, when suddenly the whole lot of them stopped what they were doing, and all looked up into the sky and all in the same direction. i looked up could see nothing and heard nothing. Then as suddenly as they stopped they carried on with what they where doing before, very strange. Has anyone else ever seen this kind of behaviour.
Hope everyone else is doing good.
Pete
