Well, amazingly Ken the hen has gone back on the lay, eventhough Pebbles is only 5 weeks old today! She usually gives the chicks she hatches at least 6 - 8 weeks before she shies away from them and they have to find their own place in the flock.
So, in celebration of this event, I've packed away the 'nursery' cage until next time she gets broody and popped both of them into the main coop with the others. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Hopefully they will both adjust overnight and Pebbles is so laid back, I don't think she'll have a problem following 'Mum' into the big coop tomorrow night.
