This is the cock that crowed in the morn


That waked the z all sleepy at dawn. The new hen-pen is nearer the house than the old one and he certainly sounded cheerful first thing this morning. I did doze off again, but then woke up when a fly landed on my mouth which was, fortunately, closed. Extremely unpleasant though.


The mother has her head down and tail up as she is scratching vigorously at the grass. The baby has seen something that looks promisingly edible, so she has her head down too.



She just looks handsome and posed so proudly.
The dirty white object behind her is one of the feet of the LPG tank. It might seem a little odd to have a large gas tank in the kitchen garden, but I'll get used to it.
