Grover and Mrs perch in the apple tree for the night.

Introducing the new rooster Grover and his new Mrs! He's moved into the orchard with a Mrs. Its evening and they are perched in an apple tree. You can see Grover through the rooster shaped window in the apples. Mrs is harder to spot. We were walking all around the orchard enclosure looking for her and thought she'd left and gone to join Foghorn and his crew. Finally we saw her, sitting quietly next to Grover in the apple tree! You can see her there, rather better camouflaged than Grover.

I hope they are happy together. Grover certainly seems to have calmed down a lot and is less fussy than when he was in a little cage waiting for his enclosure to be finished. Mrs seems ok in there so far. There are so many plums for them to much on, and grubs in the apples and pears. Next year the fruit will be healthier if those chooks eat all the grubs...
