Well, the weekend has been and gone and Blossom is still here. This is all due to a breakdown in communication between us and the poultry farmer. The breakdown being that he hasn't replied to any of my emails so we haven't been able to arrange a time to return Blossom and swap her.
Having said that, there has been some improvement over the past few days. Blossom is still pecking at Sunflower, but only in the run and when she's bored. Sunflower also seems to be gaining in confidence and even had a little peck at Blossom's tail feathers yesterday. As a result, the latest plan is to hang on to Blossom, hope that the improvement continues and try to keep her busy when she's in the run. To that end, I've just ordered a Peck a Block and Mr Chix and the little one have driven to the pet store to see what other diversions they can find!
We went to RHS Harlow Carr (near Harrogate) yesterday and spent a lovely spring morning amongst the plants, trees and flowers - highly recommended.
Not sure what we'll be up to for the rest of the week as the weather forecast is a bit doomy and gloomy.
