Today the little ones ventured further from the coop than ever before — feeling braver, feeling safer, exploring bits of the run they'd never gone near until now. Warm enough for a proper afternoon outside, and their colours keep changing daily too — black deepening, grey silvering, mocha coming through. Uno's especially interesting to watch — he's the same colouring Brave was at this age. Still no idea if we've got boys or girls yet; Brahmas keep you guessing a while longer than most.
There's always a list of jobs waiting on the estate. But days like today are a reminder — the animals come first, work waits. Keeping a flock genuinely healthy and happy takes more than people realise — it's every single day, not just the good weather ones.
Next job on the list: building them a proper coop of our own. The pretty shop-bought ones don't stand up to a real, growing flock — so we're building something that actually works. 🐔🔨
