Foghorn's diaryHuge excitement in the coop today
We get regular run clean outs, but 3 or 4 times a year mum goes to town and digs deep down ready for new litter. She was muttering something about mulching the fruit bushes with the old stuff, but we were too busy helping to dig to listen.
We got kicked out in the end for being under her feet, which was fine, because we then had free run of the garden
While mum puffed and panted hauling bags of old bark chip out, we found loads of leaves under the shrubs and kicked them all over the lawn so we could have a good sort through. Mum wasn't too impressed at first, but then got a rake and gathered them up for our run.
We always have logs and bark chips, but mum likes to give us other things to play with and the girls loved the leaves - just look at them go
Mum had a job getting them to stand still for a picture
I was busy on coop inspection as that had been cleaned out as well. We got a telling off for digging in the sawdust straight away, I can tell you.
I did my best 'me mum, no never, I would never do such a thing look', but mum was having none of it. She knows me too well
Alphie's diary Well Foggy's lot were out today causing havoc, but we stayed out of it. The Lilac Love Palace is home to my real ladies, not a bunch of old grumpies and young hooligans like that lot thank you very much.
I stood on my bit of wood and looked down on distain like usual. I do think I get this look off to a tee you know
Naomi and Eva agree I can look very distinguished when I want to.
By the way, did you notice the new clear plastic run cover? Mum treated us so we could be dry and warm, but get more daylight in these short winter days. We have 3 now
This one, our big green shade and weather protector one and our small summer shade cover. It pays to be mum's favourite you know
We think it is great and it makes the run so lovely and light
