Thursday 15th October: A beautiful sunny day until later in the afternoon when the wind swung round, the clouds rolled in and the temperature dropped.
Steve and the boys spent most of the day upgrading the large henhouse left in the garden by the previous owners. I drove into town (without children - what a novelty!) and paid bills, visited the bank, got some shopping and called back to Harris Street to read the electricity meters.
When I returned it was obvious that he henhouse renovations were more extensive than I had imagined. By the end of the afternoon the hens were ready to move into their deluxe apartment with ensuite facilities and round-the-clock food. They trotted around inside for some time, exploring. They enjoyed stretching their wings and hopping on and off perches and rails. They were most excited to find an automatic pellet feeder so they can eat whenever they want, not just at 8am and 4pm as it has been. So they then stuffed themselves with as many pellets as possible in case the special offer ended soon!
The photos are of the ark the hens have been in for the past year, and their new super-deluxe home.
