Gardening

Speaking of the chooks, they're spending most of their days out in the front run, are laying, and quite happy to get in yo' face.

Interestingly, there's a section of the chook run which abuts the neighbour's yard beyond the fenceline, and I've noticed the neighbours have started throwing some of their kitchen wastes into the chook pen. Which, they're from out rural way, used to be farm folk, so I understand, so I trust they're not trying to poison my chooks. I've had a bit of a chat to them about the chickens when they first moved in (because I was worried about the noise they might make) but they've been pretty good about the occasional noisy clucking that takes place when one of the chooks wants something and isn;t getting it. (Hainan chicken is particularly noisy when she's bored.)

The big project I want to do in the next couple of months (And really, I should have done it the last couple of weeks) is to get some bed edges in, made from heat-treated wooden pallets. But I put it off and off and off and it would be better to get the bed edges in sooner rather than later...

Ugh. Maybe I'll do them next winter...
