Cate in NZ Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I've finally uploaded several photos from my camera, and just had to share this one with you because I think it's so lovely. The story behind it is that I was busy cooking in the kitchen (this was after someone had supposedly locked up the hens for the night for me - obviously without doing a quick head count first ). Anyway I glanced out of the side window, and this is the view that I saw: Zola and Brie contendedly roosting on the trellis fencing dividing us from our neighbours Stupid birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 What a lovely photo I went out to let our girls out this morning, and there were 3 in one eglu and 4 in the other we have 8 chooks! Fairy had spent the night out in the bushes, as OH had done a brief head count, and missed one She is absolutely fine, and came wandering up the garden to see me, I was possibly a little short with him when I got in karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
