Hen pecked

The new hens are out and about now.  Quite confident to explore their new home and the wider world outside the hen run, when the gate is opened.  

This afternoon we were quite surprised to see one of the new hens so intimately preening the cockerel.  He looked quite surprised by the attention.    

We have never seen a hen do this before, and we have kept hens for over 25 years!
