| Henry the cockerel i/c hens |

| Grandpa with meditating dog |
We bought some extra hens before the wedding ahead to bolster up the supply of eggs. The 4 new hens spent the first few days cowering in the back of the hencoop while the others made it quite clear that they weren't welcome. Even Henry (see picture) who is the large and splendid cockerel in charge of the hens was fairly unpleasant to the new young hens. However, 5 days on, things have changed and although he keeps his two sets of wives apart, he has shown favour to the new ones who consequently have joined the free range facilities offered here and become excessively bold. So bold indeed that two of them came to inspect our house. We tried two approaches to get them to leave; persuasion (Granny) and brute force (Grandpa).
You can see them online as they coax, giggle and then take action to evict the wild black hen. At least they don't try to join us to meditate!!! although the dogs do
