Learning Curve

We've had a lot of rain recently. The girls figured out last week that standing about in the open while the rain comes down like stair-rods is not a great idea. I was really concerned and spent some time pointlessly trying to persuade them under their house to no avail. After consulting a friend who's previously kept chickens I decided to let them learn the lesson. As he pointed out - they're young and still learning and they'll only get soaked once!

The meadow area has now been cut down; the picture here shows five of the six birds enjoying the remains of the grass seed heads before it was cut.
