Day 439: She's fine :o)

Gabrielle is happy, eating away and there's no sign of blood on her comb - in fact, no sign of an injury at all!

I was a little concerned this morning when I put treats in for them (a hot-water-and-pellets porridge with a chopped up apple and pear mixed in - they go mad for it!) and Roxy and Tallulah (yep, gentle old lady Tallulah!) went to put her in her place, so I picked her up and put her on the shelf and they settled down.

I popped home at lunchtime to see how they were - all fine and happy. They had pellet porridge with tinned sweetcorn (rinsed to remove sugar and salt) and they went bonkers for that! Got home tonight and Xena and Gabby were on the roof - again - so I popped them into the cube and everyone was perfectly settled.

We can't believe that last night they ALL put themselves to bed in the cube properly for the first time ever - and Gabby was bleeding and Xena was pecking the blood. Aaagh.

I hope they can settle down together properly sometime without incident. Pretty please!

We were considering taking down the shelves and perches in the run this weekend in preparation for dismantling the run completely next Thursday for the big move on Friday. But we're going to do it all now next Thursday, just in case taking the perches down means they get bored and start squabbling with each other. Don't want a repeat of yesterday, thank you very much!
