EGLU HEAT PROBLEMS

[sjp]

well I did it let the 2 mini flocks out together all be it for 5 minutes rain stopped play

cyclone the columbine not bothered at all

big red the cbt has had a few pecks but I think that was because the gold legbar and the barnbar squared up to each other

but the big girls were happy to let the 3 little ones join in with the meal worms both on the ground and out of my hand not fun when theres 3 or 4 becks trying to take skin of the palm of your hand

they do nibble the potato leaves had no side affects yet but i'm keepimg an eye on them but that area they've only had access to since monday night and the leaves don't lookas nice so they've left them alone so far I've fenced the other patch off mainly to stop them digging them up and the big girls from eating the leaves this they've learnt of the youngsters last week
