The sun made a welcome appearance today so I decided to let
the girls out for a little while to have a scratch around in the yard. It
seemed at first that they weren’t quite sure what to do and no amount of verbal
persuasion would coax them out from their run so I went inside, grabbed a
couple of Persimmon and threw them outside near the door. Within seconds they
were out devouring the fruit and cautiously eyeing up their surroundings.
It
didn’t take long for them to start scratching through the grass, picking at
crawlies and tasting the foliage on offer though they kept a careful watch on
what was going on around them. At one stage Petunia had a shake of her feathers
which gave Doris a fright and off went her little legs, wings flapping, even
though she didn’t even get a foot off the ground. I could only stand and laugh
at their antics, they are such characters.
