Monday 9/8/10. Today I weeded the rose garden and threw the chooks a heap of stinging nettles. I did not think anything would eat these nettles but the chooks devoured heaps of them. So far we have had 3 eggs off the girls, but they are still getting settled into their new environment. The dogs think they have got new toys to play with so they need to learn not to chase or touch the chooks. The chooks are quite funny to watch, they are quite stupid as poultry go. When 1 walked over the stinging nettles she started picking at her feet and legs, so I assume she got stung. They soon learned not to walk on them and just to eat from around the edges. I suppose this shows how quickly the learn???. They are getting into a routine now. They wait by the door to be let out at 8am and now they are all inside ready for lock-up at 5.30pm or nightfall. Not as stupid as I first thought. 2 more eggs today and 1 smashed in the nest.
