Rain all day on and off with a temperature around 13C.
We did get out.

The two boys have gone. They went to a couple who used to have a plot at the field. The only cheerfull part is none of the carcasses will get wasted.
I moved Sylph next to Henry.

Are those raised bed gardens? They look well-constructed, but the soil level is a little low.

Good thing you could move the boys before any serious fighting started, and don’t have to deal with culling this time.

Im still waiting for a buyer for Whiskey. But since I don’t have another rooster, he doesn’t crow yet and sunrise is reasonably late from now on, I have time to wait.

whiskey a few weeks ago.

I only found mouse droppings near the mother load yesterday. Most chickens were in the tree and on top of the run.

PS I updated the link in my signature, the chick story hasn’t ended now they became juveniles.

The August chicks were 8 weeks old yesterday, and still none of them are colouring up. Could it really be that all 4 are pullets? Wouldn't that be nice!

The twins now look very like Aberglasny; it maybe difficult to tell them apart when they're all grown up

Aberglasny at the same age

I like their Cleopatraesque eyeliner!

And more good news: we have oyster-like mushrooms growing aplenty. They are a natural coccidiostat, but I don't think the chickens have realized it yet.
