Happy hens, happy teeth

We let them into their new run today and after a little hesitation they scooted down to the grass and stayed there all day. This is the run down to the trees at the bottom which were being eaten to death by the horses, now nice and safe, protected by the fence.
I don't think they could believe that we'd actually opened the pop-hole for them.
Ok,now we're going for it.
Yes!!!!!

The equine dentist came today and they were all very well behaved. Remy had quite a bit of work but was stoic, standing quietly with a resigned look on his face. Bonbon had a light rasp. The last time he came (6 months ago) she had no work done, he just introduced her to the gag and the baby rasp so she did really well. Corky was pretty much ok and Anky needed no work at all. All in all a good result.

We started Anky on the colostrum today, 100ml. The vet recommended 3/4oz (about 100ml) 3 times per day so that's what we're going to do.
