During the morning we gradually came up with some names that
seem to suit them, Cotton for the white, Nettle for the black and Lupin (Loopy) for the blue. Almost as soon as that was settled we noticed Nettle had gone upstairs....... oooh the excitement, but she came back down again soon after. Then, again, she had vanished.....
Thomas and I sat on the step waiting, like expectant
fathers, for her to come back
down again, about half an
hour later she tumbled down........ we had a peek and there
was a perfect little egg!!!! What a clever chicken!!
Everyone we had spoke to said that the chickens wouldn't lay after they had been moved so we were reeeeally surprised!! Yipppeeee!!
After a wobbly start to the day, feeling terrible, we put the chippings and straw in the run of the ark and then let the ladder down... still no names for the chucks.... the 'white' one was the bravest and sort of fell down the ladder eagerly.... the others were not so sure, finally the 'black' one hurtled down almost flattening the white one, eventually the 'blue' one picked up courage and fell down to join the others!!
