Picture thread of my hens!

[Johnn]

And there I was thinking I was just getting hardly any eggs as loads of them were moulting and only the old girls weren't. Sneaky!

Hello little ducks

Lacey duck vs Charlie. Glad to say Lacey seen him off . Might have had something to do with me warning Charlie that if he touched Lacey he can find himself a new home

Lovely view

Pearl has eventually started free ranging! All she used to do was sit in one shed for hours and then do a little excited run and go sit in the other shed for hours, she seemed to find that entertaining enough! Happy to see she's eventually confident enough to go outside and into the field

Nice morning

Little Rosie/Maddy (I've narrowed it down to two names now lol) is definitely the biggest Lacey look alike out of all the babies

Went to visit Josies babies and the rescue chucks&ducks earlier on. Was so nice to see them all happy and settled. They've got a great home. Played the ducks a video of Josie quacking and they went nuts shouting back at the video, cute how they still recognise her voice.

Tina (right) decided to peck top hen PL on the head!

here was the little face off they had. You can tell PL is not amused...

Morning girls

Bella has some pretty new feathers coming through!

I have crystal jumping on my shoulder and pearl jumping on my arm every time I bend down. Think they like to make it difficult for me to take pics

Well it's been a sad morning. Had to take Tina to the vets to be put to sleep. She had a Tumor which I've known about for a while and I decided I would let her enjoy life whilst she still could. Up until yesterday she was free ranging and eating, then yesterday she wasn't free ranging.l but was still eating loads and then today she went right down hill and I knew it was time. Her and her friend Rosie sadly suffered the same fate but at least they're reunited now as they did love each other. A sad moment in the vets was when I was holding her, she was very content but when the vet took her from me she got a little burst of energy and tried to struggle and shouted. Was nice in away though as it showed her trust was in me. Was just posting the other day about her being free for a year. Just wish it could have been longer. I knew she was coming to an end when her and Lacey duck stopped scrapping all the time!! R.I.P Tina

Seriously Crystal?! I didn't bend down today for her to hop onto my shoulder, so instead she tried to jump up and flew into my stomach, once she realiSed she couldn't get that high she settled for sitting on my welly!

That is so sad about Tina, but at least she had the opportunity to enjoy the sun and grass for a year before her time came.

I'm glad Pearl is venturing out more. I really is lovely how the rescue hens trust you so much.

Thank you! I know at least she got some freedom. They just deserve longer! Think the rescue ones trust me a bit too much lol!

I'm so sorry you lost Tina. She had a wonderful home with you even tho it was to short. They are so grateful to you for saving them they can't thank you enough.

Bella looks beautiful sporting her new feathers. She looks proud of them too.

Lacey is bossing the roosters that's great. She is a spunky little thing. I can't tell her and Rosie/Maddie apart. You might have to get one of them a leg band. She looks exactly like her mother.


Thanks so much for the beautiful pics. The views are breathtaking.

Lacey duck

Josie begging for mealworms!

Well yesterday when Crystal finally got on my shoulder, I gave in and was like "ok you can come get the food with me", whilst I was opening the gate, she decided to jump off my shoulder and onto the feed shed roof! Safe to say I was nearly having a heart attack when she was getting down as when she first came she give herself a limp jumping off the nest box and then to top it off she then jamp off it again and landed in a bog and nearly died. But she got off here with no problems or injuries so it shows how far she has come!

Seriously Crystal?! I didn't bend down today for her to hop onto my shoulder, so instead she tried to jump up and flew into my stomach, once she realiSed she couldn't get that high she settled for sitting on my welly!

Great pics love the selfie. Josie is so pretty are you sure she's not part leopard? Her markings are so pretty.

Crystal is a dare devil getting into so much trouble. I love the shot of her hanging onto your boots.

Lacey your closeup was so sweet. Your profile is perfect.

Thanks so much for sharing the pics and have a great weekend.

That angle is GREAT for that selfie with a few of the flock.

Crystal is too funny!

Here are a couple of pics of wild ducks that hang out on the wetland where I live.
