They have the freedom to roam in the woodland during the day, with full access to their little house. They are settling in very nicely, becoming four little characters. I'll try to find time to post about them in the next few weeks...things are still very busy around here right now - grandparenting duties, time spent looking after my 90 year old aunt, and then the jobs which have to be done around this place...then there is Christmas to organise! Never a dull moment! I am still managing to read the blogs I enjoy, I just don't comment very often, but don't worry, I'm still around!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-85223662702649139002012-12-05T17:40:42.731+00:002012-12-05T17:40:42.731+00:00Hello.

I am still working on some other projects at the moment, I hope to have more time for blogging in a couple of weeks. The hens are doing well, they had their first real taste of freedom yesterday we let them roam in the wood. They didn't go far, but they seemed to enjoy it as they scratched around the earth and began exploring a little. I'm delighted to say they all took themselves off to bed before dusk; their world has expanded! Life is as good as it can be, for four little hens saved from the pie factory!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-8372804425202205232012-11-03T22:10:07.238+00:002012-11-03T22:10:07.238+00:00Hello Elaine,
