Today my Mum and Step-dad came to visit me so I had an extra couple of pairs of hands to help move the chicken run onto new ground. I got my Mum to distract the girls with some treats whilst Richard held a wooden board (the roof of the coop) over the end of the run and I moved the chicken coop. After that we all managed to move the run into position with the chickens still inside. The girls seemed pretty happy to have some new grass to peck (more like destroy). The patch of grass where the chickens used to be looks pretty disgusting now – especially when you consider that they had only been there for 3 days!
This is where the chicken run used to be!
As well as moving the run I have accomplished something much more difficult – with lots of help from my Mum and Yu Lee I have finally managed to name one of the chickens! The white one is now called Daisy!
Apart from that not a lot has happened but the girls are looking a lot more relaxed. Here is a picture of the girls relaxing in the run.
The chickens are settling in well
Lovely looking girls you have there, following on from the flower theme I think you should call the grey one Bluebell.
I did consider that for a while but her breed is called blue bell so it didn’t seem right. My mum has suggested about a million names but I haven’t agreed to any of them – I am really fussy with names! Thanks for the suggestion though!
