I tried the spagetti ... but they didn't quite 'get it'. Maybe when they're a bit for confident they will. The ducks had a go though. I'll probably do a chicken post soon - to show how they're settling in. Think we'll need to move the run soon too. I've already got plans for making a bigger area for them, maybe with electrified plastic netting (there are foxes, pine martins etc so I must be careful). Anyone got experience of that stuff?<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Ferris.Ferris Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112537164554514642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040424243130404918.post-61183244421878168682009-07-14T07:40:55.459+01:002009-07-14T07:40:55.459+01:00I love the polytunnel too!

House is coming on great too. Snap with the ex-batts, we got 6 yesterday. Glad yours are doing OK. Ours are still bewildered, but I did have an egg waiting for me this morning - bless them.
