Chicken boarders

Today Friday 4th May my very good neighbour popped by to say the cuckoo had returned. Having moved from London last year I had never heard a cuckoo. I was so excited.

I live in West Norfolk so I don't think it is Lyster but it was a male I heard. Now I need to hear a female. Not sure if I would recognise it though. Thank you for the link.

 

Was you wanting to move last year Old Speckled hen? Did you? And do you have a cockerel that you put in a box each night? I read so many posts that I suffer input confusion.

Yes that's me.

Flash sleeps in a large dog crate in the heated basement. Plenty of room though judging by his neat pile of poo he hunkers down and sleeps in one place.

Have had an offer on house just waiting to exchange....fingers crossed.

We have a few houses on shortlist as far as internet search lets you decide then it's off to ma-in-law's while we look.

Chooks going to sis-in-law who has one deaf neighbour.

Good luck OSH. I rescued Harvy last Oct after we moved. I do have neighbours close by and he does start at 5.30am no complaints yet. I were ear plugs. I don't want to start bringing him in as it would be difficult to do if we are away. Fingers crossed they don't mind.
