Chooks a laying......

After a week or so off, we started again yesterday with a good grooming session and a maintenance rasp for all. They don't look too bad for the middle of winter.  Anky could do with a bit more weight, but she's been quite well for a few weeks now, so I'm pretty happy with her.
A short in-hand session for Remy and Bonbon today. Moving shoulders and quarters and reinback for Rem and continuing baby lungeing with Bonbon. Both good as gold.  It's bloody cold though!!!
Our chooks are settling in really well. I go in and feed them breadcrumbs and they gather around like little children for sweets, and one or two are eating out of my hand. The older two have started laying again and the last couple of days we've had one or two tiny eggs, so the youngsters are laying too now. Great.
