I have gathered all my pics finally today and got them on to my laptop so it just leaves me to get them on the thread, fingers and toes crossed. Here goes!! The first one is one of the girl's dustbathing area surrounded by recycled decking to keep the soil in place.

This one is the same dustbathing area and late afternoon/early evening they perch on the decking waiting for either one of us to come out to take them up for their supper. Why are hens always hungry ?? If you look closely you will see that there are two layers of hens. The top hens are perching above the others on a perch we put under there because it is shaded for them especially when it is really hot.

Most of these hens had nodded off whilst I was sitting right in front of them taking pictures. In this picture, you can see both of their dustbathing areas near each other except for the gap inbetween.
