A little update on the new girls;-
They're a lot more biddable now, all 3 are laying eggs and are growing into their names -
Dora the Explorer with the sticky up tail
Gwen with the white bum, because Gwen means white in Welsh
Bron the nearly all brown chook with the scraggy neck
and, of course, Mrs Blodwen Brown (Blod for short). Blodwen means white flower.

This endeth today's lesson. Smile

Blodwen. It brings back memories from long ago. It was a nickname given to me by a Welsh colleague, I was never too sure whether it was a mickey take, but I quite liked it. I hope Blod is looking after the newbies nicely.

Blodwen's still throwing her weight around but not aggressively, just pushing them out of the way when there's corn on offer.
Were you like that? Smile

That’s a trick question  Big Grin 
I’ve had chickens in the tops of trees, but they kinda flap from branch to branch more than fly. 
Is Dora exploring where she shouldn’t?
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

This flight was from the ground to the landing place - couldn't have "climbed" from one perch to another!

Not then, as I was young and submissive, although I have since acquired the talent.  There are some benefits from being mature. Smile  in years at least.

We had a feral bantam that used to work herself up to jumping/flying to a branch in a silver birch at least 10ft up to roost overnight.

It was Dora!
She flew onto the top of the old run which is made from 6' high wire netting with a top rail for rigidity. She them flew down and ran/waddled to her new run - looking as you do, when you're desperate to get to the loo. I opened the run door, she rushed in and into the nest box, breathed a huge sigh of relief and laid an egg. Smile
