Day 188.

What a squash! Photography by F L Campbell
Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: three-quarters full. Emotional weather: a good day.

Nice day today, real pleasant and companionable, no squabbles between the pullets (Unnamed is now officially a pullet and I wish the people would come up with a name soon – it’s so obvious she’s a hen), no fights between the Boys, Jack’s chilled out, Brian and Steve are relaxed and I am happy.

At one stage we all got in the dust bath, it was a bit ridiculous really as we didn’t really fit. Blacky said she and her whole flock would get in their favourite dust bath and, if they got the pattern right, they could all fit and all help each other out with their dust bathing. But as she recalled it, it sounded very ‘head to arse’ to me!
