Moving the chicks

fruit cage repaired Nov 17 (1)

The hen that hatched 3 eggs in September and then raised them along with another 5 chicks hatched in the incubator has been a great success. However she and her brood had become too big for the quail house. I took the decision to move them to the fruit cage which needed considerable repairs. These were carried out on Sunday morning and we also moved in a small henhouse though bits of it dropped off while we relocated it, resulting in a repair job. Once completed, we moved in the hen and chicks. They are all doing well and are enjoying the extra space.
