I know in the same way as I got obsessed with getting the best perching photo, I have now become obsessed with getting the best photo of the chickens coming out of the coop in the morning. In my last attempt I only actually caught Bluebell coming out because of the delay with the flash. As I was out before the chickens again this morning, I decided to have another go and click each time just before I thought I needed to. It was just after twenty past seven so it is getting a little later each day. Again I could hear the chickens behind the door waiting to get out, then the door started to rise.<\/p>\n

They seemed to squeeze through quicker than ever with the door only about a third of the way up.<\/p>\n

I was disappointed that as soon as they were all out Dotty turned to Bluebell and pecked her on the head. I had thought yesterday that she seemed a bit better and wondered if I was over reacting to her bullying, but they had only been out for seconds and it was the first thing she did. Dotty seems to peck her at any time now rather than just over treats but she does seem to have better and worse days so for now I will just keep an eye on her<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
