P

Ah. And Oops. TB created quite a fuss last evening. Had sat by the pen of Ally & Pally, listening to Moaning Minnie (aka Ally. Or maybe Pally) in its box. When the neighbour came out to settle them down for the night he took the box out and put it on the grass next to TB while he checked the nest box. (The moaning continued.)

It was all Too Much for a beagle of only limited understanding. Snuffed and walked around it a couple of times. Then, sad to say TB cocked its leg. From the squawks it sounded as though there was a direct hit through the ventilation holes.

Some time later a washed down, still very wet and for once silent chicken was returned to its pen. Without the box.

We await further events.
