Welcome Back!

Poppy is back!

She appeared yesterday, as she does everyday for her feed-poo-legstretch-and-dustbathe.  However, she didn't seem to go back to the nestbox.

And this morning, she was out with the others from first thing.

Thank goodness for that!

She's been broody since the middle of May, which hasn't been good for her or for everyone else.  She's been preventing anyone else using the nestboxes (even the one next door); the Oldies don't lay very often, which is probably just as well from a nest-box point of view.  I put a separate nestbox elsewhere in the run for Lotti to use.

I'm so happy to have her back.

I wasn't quite so happy at 5.30 this morning when she was attempting to crow under the bedroom window....
