Chicken paddocks now separate each batches from each other. That allows the chickens to grow with less animosities among them, or else the smaller ones suffer from the constant pecking by the bully bigger ones. Confined in them bamboo fences, they forage among the grasses within without undue interference from the bigger ones.
The bigger ones have began laying golden brown eggs on their old brooder houses, building their nests within. Each morning we find new eggs on the nest, smaller at first, but gradually becoming bigger day by day.
Bananas are grown as well within the paddocks, contributing feeds by way of fruits and the inner white core of the pseudo-stem, loved by the chickens. A whole pseudostem is finished in a day!
Pity the Gen San trip was postponed....we look forward to seeing what's beyond the bamboo fences :)
