Additions to the family....

One of the things we were sad to give up when we left the UK were our chickens, and despite a lot of press about the spread of bird flu in India, we finally got around to replacing them.


Having always bought laying chickens in the past, we decided to get some younger ones and watch them grow, so we have just bought four little week old chicks. The first few nights we had them were very cold and we were so worried that they might catch a chill that we rested their box on a hot water bottle.







Evie loves them and wants to check on the 'kookas' first thing each morning (kookara is Nepali for chicken) and often wants set them free from their little enclosure. They seem to be thriving despite the attention and are due for inoculations in the next few days.
