Day 260.

New Hens! Acrylic on canvas by F L Campbell

Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: two – Steve and Brian’s, they were locked in and bored. Feed hopper: full.

We were locked in this morning and spent most of the day cursing The Female Person for the mistake of leaving the gate shut again. But NO! No mistake about it! After lunch she turned up with three NEW HENS. See this is what I mean about not having control over our lives. What do we need new hens for? Jack is beside himself with joy (so predictable) but Steve, Brian, Camilla and myself are LESS than impressed. AND The Female Person kept the gate closed so we can’t ignore these new hens but have to share our feed hopper with them. It’s really TOO much to ask of grieving hens.
