Clearly if I want to keep them out of other people's veg plots I just need to continuously hatch chicks

Until he figures, he has enough chicks for a football match.

Maybe she wants to join the chickens, and the boss won’t let het outside?

We got lucky. It stopped raining when I got there and didn't start again until I got home. We got an hour and a half out. They're about as far down the field as I'll let them go in the first picture. All rather different from a few weeks ago when they were reluctant to venture out of the extended run and then it was keep close to the chairs.

It can't have been about safety. Nothing has really changed at the field. It is warmer and there is longer daylight but not by much in a couple of weeks. The only difference I know about is is Mow and Sylph are laying eggs. I could understand better if the change in behaviour was more subtle and over a longer period of time. This is a dramatic change from running when a jackdaw flew over, preferring to be under the coop at the slightest hint of inclement weather, not moving far from me much of the time...

Always wonderful to see chickens in their natural habitat (someone else's property)

To further prove the above statement are some of my favorite neighbors in their natural habitat (back porch)

Must be you!
First you were the bringer of nasty weather. Yesterday you took along a nice dry spell of weather.
