Day 143.

Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: full. Brave roosters: Luke.

The most bizarre creature arrived late this afternoon. A huge orange thing with no feet (or is it lots of feet?), a funny square body, and one great arm that hangs out the front and ends with a great scoopy claw-like thing. Gave us all a hell of a fright when it chugga-chug-chugged up the drive, but it immediately went to sleep outside the chicken house and hasn’t moved since. We plucked(!) up the courage to have a closer look on our way home and Luke even pecked it! But it hasn’t moved so we aren’t too worried.
