Two for Tuesday
These two old ladies were catching some sun on Sunday. Henny and Curly
Thought she might lay down, but she didn’t.
Two squared
Blanche and Dorothy, Butterscotch and Muffy
Poor Dorothy is being terrorized by naughty Gomer. Dorothy has been moulting and really isn’t very...
Oh I am so sad to hear this, it’s always feast or famine with the weather. I wish I could send you lots of it.
Everything here, is just so water logged, my neighbour texted saying her horse yard was flooded and the geese were swimming in there! Geese know a good thing.
It’s now 7C, very damp...
Been thundering all night and lots of rain. Still coming down. Horses are not happy. But it took lots of snow so can’t complain too much.
Currently 8C (48f) and rain. Forecast high of 15C (59F). More rain on the way.
I thought Holly might be stopping her broody behaviour but she was back in that nestbox when I got home. I visualized popping 23 chicks under her
😳😳😳😳
😁😁😁😁😁
Today was a glorious day here, temps got to 18C and the sun shone brightly. A goodly amt of the remaining snow melted giving the chooks a really wonderful muddy ground to dig up and gobble up whatever delights they could find.
Tomorrow rain on tap, but still mild at 12C. After that back below...
Oh my! I was just thinking that of Petra - she is a nutter! That one has energy to burn! I thought Tippy was a high energy youngster! But Petra brings it to a whole new level!
And she is very demanding about attention! Still takes time to chase the silkie chicklets, though I notice Bridie not...
Just surfing the www for info on Fayoumi and came across this interesting study on crossing Whote Leghorns with Fayoumi.

In the morning I stay clear of the doorway as I have been on the receiving end of a ‘flying chicken’ - most I successfully catch before they hit me in the face.
This morning Muffy launches herself at me and I caught her as she crashed into my chest! Both of us were surprised!
Mugs Monday
Ruth looking for treats
Henny Penny
Fluffy McNugget demanding whatever it is I have in my pockets.
Babe, kept flying up onto the lawnchair armrest and tromping back and forth over me from one armrest to the other, while I tried to snooze.
Oh you have got to be kidding! Whoa Nelly, well I guess really, you were doomed there with her breeding.
But OMG wouldn’t she look sweet with a few baby cookies runnimg after her ?
♥️♥️
Looks like Holly has finally decided to stop being broody. The other white fluffy silkie is Peekaboo...
