The hens found their own way to bed for the first time last night.  And it wasn't a fluke as they did the same again this evening.  I was ridiculously proud of them!

Still no eggs though - although my neighbour, Fiona,  assures me they'll soon be laying.  Their crops and wattles have reddened up beautifully, and they are beginning to "dip" when you put a hand out to them.   So with a little bit of luck eggs will be arriving soon.  I was a little concerned that they may be suffering from starvation as they don't seem to eat anything I put out for them, but again Fiona was able to put my mind at rest on that point.

Thank you for the feedback on the calendar.  I've placed the order and they should be here in the next couple of weeks.  I've ordered a more than have been requested so far, so if you want me to add your name to the list, let me know.
