Elvis has a flying lesson

Elvis has been having flying lessons recently and is doing very well.  Getting two 'real' chickens was a real eye opener for us having only had ex-battery ones before.  It made us realise how little the ex-bats use their wings.  I suppose being confined to a tiny space there is no opportunity to stretch their wings let alone fly.  So, Bob has decided to teach Elvis how to fly!  He picks her up and puts her on something (like the trailer) and, eventually, she fly-jumps down.  She is getting better - it only took her about three minutes to pluck up the courage (oops, that's probably not a very tactful phrase to use about a chicken) to leap down today.  She is amazing really, when we first got her not only did she have just three feathers, but she could barely walk and certainly couldn't jump.  Just a two inch drop had her stuck at the top, bless her.

No real news of anything else, just more plasterboarding.  Laura is coming tomorrow for a week's caravan holiday.  Hopefully she won't have to spend hours thawing pipes and melting snow to flush the loo like last time!  Wonder what she's like at plasterboarding?!
