Things worked out well, my friends other silky boy had died so Mr Fluffnut
was welcomed back. She'd picked out the prettiest silky lady I've ever seen,
she looks like a tabby cat & at 5 months old we're more certain a pullet.
Meet Pebbles, she's very sweet natured, much more mellow than Mr F was,
he used to jump about Pebbles just stands still for ages! She's totally ok with Giblet,
so >fi< this time it should work!

I think she is partridge but I'm not certain, my friend told me but I've forgotten :oops:
At 5 months I think she's more of less full grown & coloured. I hope so I like her
just as she is!

At last Giblet & Pebbles have moved into a proper run! Hand built by dh & adapted
for Giblets special needs!
The old teeny runImage
new walk in run
Image
old coop I was given - cresoted & thoroughly sanitised
Image
Thats betterImage
extra wide perch for Giblet
Image
Giblets sensory garden - (patch of turf bits stolen from round the garden & pile of
compost & sand)
Image
moving in day! Pebbles loved it, Giblet was rather scared but soon got the hang of
moving along the log edging to find the food. Pebbles immediately got stuck into
the compost & dug a huge hole!
Image
Image
I'm so relieved we got them in there before the cold weather sets in, they were both
getting coughs & sneezes as the old coop was drafty & damp.
Pebbles is showing signs of being ready to start laying, I hope Giblet doesnt get
upset when she disappears every day. I wonder if Giblet's natural instinct will guide
her to the nestbox when she is ready to lay?
