No eggs today - total = 82
This is the post with the photo's for today. The girls have been out free ranging for most of the day, and conviently dug the slate out of the only bit of the garden we haven't put the lawn edging round! They were all sunbathing, which was really good to see.
We took Boris out past the mill and through the field which has horses and cows in it. They were all up near the other gate, so we walked up, so see one of the cows running over to his friends - notice the "His" friends. We came round the corner, to come face to face with 20 male cows, and all of the horses but one. The cows were very interested in us, and Boris started woofing at them. The 20 cows then all went round behind us, and started herding us. They were getting quite fast - so we speeded up too, and then came to the horses with their foals - so they were a task to get past too. As you can imagine we got out of the field pretty sharpish. As soon as we were out of the field we were full of confidence and stood their talking to the cows, and stroked them. I forgot to take the camera - which was really annoying - and the cows were really sweet when we were the other side of the fence!
Here's a picture of Boris taken in the garden - with the lawn edging, and one of the girls sunbathing in the run this morning - the first time I have seen Dhylis lie down in the whole 8 weeks we've had her!
