Bedtime in the barn! It's not a bad life: plenty of perches, plenty of straw to lie on, plenty of hay to eat. We wonder what the four animals below are thinking/feeling as they get themselves ready for bed? Do animals even think?
The Red Leghorn looks as though she is having a last check before she settles on her 'high' perch. Leghorns always perch high, the higher the better for them: they obviously have an in-built 'predator avoidance' button!
Pepper (picture number two) is doing a spectacularly inelegant sit as he decides he has eaten too much (again) and is going to have to sleep right here because he cannot really move now!!!
Nutmeg is eyeing up the feeding bowl hanging just by her nose in case there is a chance we may give them a second 'supper' and then there is Elizabeth, still moulting, still doing very little each day and already fast asleep with her head tucked under her wing!!
Time for lights out!! Sleep well!!
