Tuesday 6th Dec, 4 weeks old

tonight i went out to put Hook and the babies to bed and couldnt find Rita or Captain Hook. I got in a bit of a panic as they were nowhere to be found. I thought maybe Rita had got through the fence and Hook had gone after her and the dog found them,.... as you do. Anyway I heard Hooks special cluck she uses to call the babies and looked up. There she was roosting with Rita.

I had a bit of a panic as I couldnt get the others to go to bed without Hook. I tried to get them cheeping to encourage hook to come down, Sage and I held them and sort of chased them abotu but she did not move. Sage was thrilled to have his first hold all by himself. I took a few photos then came in to phone Trina
