Good news-the hens are all in together now.
On Saturday I let them all out together into the big run and kept an eye on them. Apart from Rose putting them in their place occassionally-it all went fine so on Saturday afternoon I took the Eglu run out of the big run, cleaned them out, hung cabbages and bits up for them and let them get on with it.
They are settling well. I have made sure that there are extra food and water bowls in the run so that Rose cannot stop the new girls eating and drinking.
I feel so happy to see them all have more space.
I was considering getting a couple more hens in the summer but have now decided that the three I have are not cramped in anyway at all and I like seeing them with plenty of room so I am sticking to three.
I will put some pics on next time as I didn't take any since taking the Eglu run out and it's a bit dark to do it now!! lol

So, not long till Christmas. Our tree's are coming today so I am very excited :-)  Mum is too! Lovely to have a real tree in the room. It'll be a first for me since leaving home at 19. 
The kids are getting so excited but Liam doesn't really understand the idea that the fairies are watching him now so he must try to be good or else they might tell Father Christmas and Father Christmas would not be very happy and if Liam was very, very naughty he might not want to give him so many toys. Liams answer is "I'll shoot those fairies!!"
Lovely boy!!!!!  ;-)  LOL LOL

I have still got to get a couple of little bits. A pressie for Olive, a little something for my neighbour Elaine who always buys the kids something, and a gift set for my cousin Sam. Not too bad though-more organised than normal. lol

I wrote my cards out last night so I will be popping them through doors later on today.

I do love Christmas although obviously it is going to be strange this year without my Dad. Feels pretty weird really but you have to keep it all nice, especially for the children.

Well, nearly time to let the chickens out and make a start on breakfast so I am going to go now.
I truly hope that you all have a lovely day.
