The time was definitely not right for more chooks. Mrs Brown knew!!
She normally puts herself to bed in her coop at dusk but the last 2 nights I've found her in the nestbox, which is outside the coop. She was very reluctant to go into the coop, even with a handful of corn to tempt her.
Today, I cleaned out the coop and found red mite - yukky things. So I've been washing and spraying and itching - don't know whether its all in the mind or whether they really are crawling all over me sucking my blood. Horrid things.
I'll let her sleep in a GH tonight while the spray does its work.
