Day 189.


Sam and his super fabulous nest - again. Photography by F L Campbell
Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: one. Feed hopper: half full.

There have been no treats in the treat bowl for days now. I wonder what this means. Does The Female Person no longer love us? Is she giving the treats to someone else!? It doesn’t bear thinking about really.

Jack had a little feather stuck to the side of his comb today. We didn’t tell him about it, even though it looked really naff; we just laughed a little each time he walked past.

Blacky told me this funny story about her Sam. He was a great finder of nests and would enthusiastically call the hens over to look at his super fabulous nest – only every time it would be the SAME nest. His hens used to laugh at him too, it’s our way of coming out on top even though we are under him in the pecking order!
