Today I let Bearded Lady and her poults out as well as the poults I hade been raising in the brooder in the house. The were all more happy for it and the "ki-ki-run" of the babies, which is an assembly / here-i-am call, can now be heard all over the yard as they peck about carefully under the watchful eyes of Mum.
Bearded Lady also felt it necessary to show the poults the other side of the road on day one... I am not super pleased about that but not much I can do.
