Just another day...

The rain has been missing us for a few weeks now and now the grass is not great fodder. We want to give some of our paddocks a rest, so we tried to put our stud Enrique in with the other boys today.

Previous attempts to do this had not gone very well, but lately we have been feeding Enrique next to the other boys (separated by a fence) and he seems to be accepting them, so we thought we'd give it another go.

Enrique, on the right, steps into the boys paddock
The operation was "oiled" by copious amounts of hay and we were all ready to step in and separate them... Instead they just went past each other like total gentlemen, with only a quick snort exchange and swapped paddocks.

Later Enrique returned to his dwelling and found the boys there... Silly Bakr, our junior stud, tried to mount Enrique... NOT a good move! Enrique put him in his place and all seemed good now... We'll see in the morning!
Meanwhile, our peachick Luna, also got let out into the big pen... She can fly over the top and leave but we'll let her work that out, no rush. Jamie the peacock and all the chooks came to visit and we all had a lovely time I the Autumn sun.

It was so lovely, I also got sick Jade out. Poor Jade's been spending over a week mostly in the house on several meds and vitamins. But after another visit to the vet and more drugs yesterday, she seemed slightly happier today. I figured she needed sun and company to pull through so she spent the day outside, then back in for the night
Later, when Jade and Luna both walked back into their pen I locked them up again... Let's not get too excited. They need to get to know everyone better before we can trust them to stay around
All the chooks and Jamie came to keep them company and all seems well. Happy day on the farm!
