We put two high perches in the run to give the bantys somewhere to escape from the big girls. They haven’t discovered either perch yet!<\/p>\n

Bluebell has found the one over the store cabinet and taken to settling there at bedtime. I think because Pepper tries to keep her off the coop roof she has chosen this perch as it’s near to them.<\/p>\n

The little girls try to get on the coop roof too but Pepper chases them off. They usually give up and go in the coop. They settle in the nest box together which is good for me as I don’t have to put them in.<\/p>\n

Bluebell has taken to roosting here before bedtime<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Pepper<\/a>

Pepper and Dotty roost here<\/p><\/div>\n

Bluebell is big and heavy and every time she jumps off the high perch she collapses the top of the store cabinet. The top is a sheet of plastic which fits into a slot in the wood. After she has pushed it in I am able to pop it back up into the slot. This is temporary though. I am going to get a wooden board to fit the top so that it will take her weight. Another small job on our never ending list of improvements to the run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
