Well, I've had the chucks a week today,and this afternoon as been the best so far. Entertainment wise that is. It stopped raining about mid day,so after the sun had been out a couple of hours I let them out of the coop run,into the outter one for the first time. Half the run was previously a part of my vegetable plot,and it had just been dug over,the remainder was a part of the lawn and the grass was about 6inch long as it had'nt been mown for about 4weeks whilst I was fencing it off. Boy; did they enjoy themselves,scratting in the soil,sqabbling over a lob worm that had surfaced,by the time they had sorted themselves out the worm had buried itself, I never realised chucks could be enthrawling. And as for the grass,they can trim it nearly as quick as a mower. They decided to call it a day at about 9-45,this is about the latest they've turned in. All in all,I think the chucks and I have had a great day. Also my recent concern about their droppings,things seem to be improving,so yes its been a good day. Best Wishes to you all Edward
