Daisy, Geraldine and Boris - Part 2

With the coop and chicken run complete the girls have now moved in and have settled well into their new home.  We kept them confined to their coop for the first week so they could get used to their home but for the last few weeks, they have been scratching around their run, getting to know their new surroundings.  They have tried to escape once and one of the trio managed to get out but once out she seemed to want to go back to the company of her "flock".

They love our kitchen scraps, so what the compost heap used to get, the chooks now get.  They seem to love celery and fennel so they are living in a great home!  They are also getting through most of the weeds I put in their run so finally I have found a use for weeds.

Each of them is showing some of their own personalities, Geraldine is always the first one to come out of the coop each morning, she is showing all the signs of becoming the boss.  Boris is no push over and we have seen her squaring up to Tia Belle our Springer Spaniel.  Daisy is the shy one, last one to come out and first to go back in.

They are still a way of being ready to lay but I am looking forward to those first poached eggs on a weekend morning!
