The chicken run gets plenty of sun in summer but only a little in winter, that is when it’s not raining of course. As with the last few weekends, today once again, we had a one day break from the rain with blue sky and sunshine.
There was a little patch of sun in the corner of the run and the girls all piled into the corner to sit in the sun.
Some sun in the corner of the run
I had to take this from outside as I knew that as soon as I opened the gate the girls would come running to me.
Snoozing in the sun
As I expected the girls did come running to me but they wandered back to their patch of sun.
I did a few chores in the run and the sun moved round. The girls moved to the new patch of sun.
The sun has moved round to the branch perch
As I approached with my camera Pepper jumped down to greet me.
Perching in the sun
Pepper jumped back up causing Dotty to jump down.
One up and one down
Dotty sprang back up and Bluebell jumped down, she is under the perch. It’s like musical chairs on this perch! I love how they always find the sun.

You do this too! I remember when I was still living at home, sitting in pub gardens with you having a beer in the afternoon, and you moving your chair to follow the last patch of sun in the garden.
I think spring’s coming now. I had to take my coat off on the way to work this morning.
It’s true, I still do that. I still love the sun and can’t wait for summer. I think you are right though, spring is on it’s way. I too have taken my coat off a few times when doing my chicken chores recently.
Hiya Carol! Have you changed email addresses? I have tried to email you but it keeps telling me my email wasn’t delivered x
My e-mail is just the same. I will try e-mailing you now.
I got your email but it still wont let me reply! I will try again tomorrow x
How strange! I wonder if the problem is your end because I am getting e-mails through okay. Have you had a problem sending an e-mail to any one else or just me. I will try sending you an e-mail form my back up g-mail account and see if you can reply on that.
