Hmm well the other two are OK I guess. Seecil and I still give them a hard time - pulling their combs and chasing - just so they know we are top hens.

For three days in a row now we have laid an egg each. Jamie came rushing down cos we were yelling and carrying on a bit – it’s just quite hard to keep ones legs crossed waiting for the nest to be clear! And then when one of us has a successful turn, that is worth cheering loudly about too, so it does get quite noisy there for  a while.

Jamie can’t understand why 3 of us have decided we must lay in the same nest and at the same time! And it’s true we do ignore the other perfectly good nesting box. But then we are women!! ( and this way is more fun and gives our vocal chords exercise)

Jamie has been picking lots of beans and now some tomatoes and cucumber, and salad things. She was not pleased when she cam home the other day and found Seecil had flown into thegarden and dug up all the winter seedlings which has just emerged. I noticed bits of feather around after that. And now Seecil can't fly  in there. Don't think I'll try that!
