What are they like?

There I was chucking shavings around the nest box (poo picking) and banking the shavings up when I flipped up an egg. Didn't break it luckily. Carried on and then flipped up a 2nd egg.

Why are the girls suddenly burying their eggs?

Teddy's attack on Myrtle seems to be forgotten (by Myrtle, not me) and I think I've been forgiven. She was facing the door of the coop tonight. What a good night to surprise them all with dried mealworms

They lurved them. I was a bit squeamish at first and served them from a dish but they were bouncing and flipping them out of the dish in their eagerness to scoff them and they ended up in my hands anyway

I don't think there can be too much in the way of grubs and insects around at the moment as I've noticed the chooks pop back into the run to eat a few pellets every now and then.

I've also started using one of those big coolie hat lids on the feeder in the covered run. It's fab. Their food is staying really clean. They used to kick dirt into the scratcher bit and sometimes poo in it I don't have to clean it every day now and food isn't being wasted because it's contaminated
