Chicken cuddles

Egg update:

Two eggs yesterday, bringing the total to ten. Down to £52.13 per egg.

Getting more comfortable with the humans

Norma and Taystee now have absolutely no objections to being picked up.  Taystee even had a good stretch and a look around before jumping down.

I managed to grab hold of Big Boo for a quick cuddle and check-up too.  She didn't like it at first, but soon settled when she realised it wasn't dangerous.  She's so soft and fluffy.

Piper's still having none of it.

New foods

We tried a couple of new treats for the girls today.  First we put out half a galia melon.  Very little interest in that.  Then I started on the kitchen scraps.  A couple of slices of cucumber caused initial excitement.  They grabbed it and ran off down the garden... then dropped it and walked away.

The radish trimmings wend down very well, as did the lettuce.

The clear favourite though was the potato peelings (boiled up to remove toxins).  As soon as they hit the ground, all four came running.  Crazy little cluckers.
