Good morning folks

Aaaaw Fizzy Darcy is adorable! As is Ezzie.

Annie congrats on your new fur baby too .. you know the rules, while we believe you, we need proof and eagerly await those pictures

How about Sholmes for a name or Shermie?

Appps loved your video ....beautiful chickens !

Awwww...Fizzy your fur baby is so cute! And Ezzie is gorgeous with her new foot feather
The moult has eased up a bit and the littlies (Batams) have their tales feathers well and truly started!
No eggs!,Still!

 

[Fizzybelle]

Yay my Beatrice is laying eggs again! Her moult is pretty much over. I'll get some pics of her new colouring. She's got more of a caramel colour that came through now, and white as well. I've not seen this many feathers on her feet before either! She's eating normally (huge crop before bed last night) and yelling, though that never stops Least I'll know what to expect next years moult.

My Zanna still looks half echidna

@Anniebee

Sadly they don't really get to enjoy the greenery. Without fail if I let them out our hawk population comes to visit for the next week. So it's strictly supervised grazing only

Which is also why it's still so green

Ah - now I don't feel so ashamed. So sad your chookies have to be supervised all the time because of the hawk population. But boy - when out and about I bet they make the most of all that lovely greenery.

Today, I went out with the scissors ( again ), to cut some low grass and quite a bit of shamrock growth, to chop up finely and mix in with a treat for them. I don't let them roam for long, as we have foxes here, who have recently taken to day light robbery, and it is far simpler for a fox to grab a free ranging chicken than one in the run - or in the coop.

Still and all - we don't have much greenery anyway.

... They do have compost in their run, to dig around in though.

Cheers ~

To Harmsody, Fizzybelle and Teila ...

First - Teila - I love your suggestions for names for the little tike - who is now shown below here. Particularly "Shermie". hmmm. Will have to rethink it all. He's been ignoring Sherloh-Benny ( don't blame him ) .... but I do like Shermie.

Here he is - looks bigger than he really is, in these photos :







This one below, was taken with a flash setting, so is much lighter and shows a couple of dirty dog paw marks on the tiles !!!




He is quite adorable, but had an attack of the mads today. Miss Ruby adores him
and stands at his 5 star accommodation bedroom, begging me to let him out ( again ), but as they both have to be supervised, and the little boy sleeps some of the time,
Miss Ruby has to miss out on occasions. He is out playing with her several times a day
now, which is superb since he's only been with us 10 days. Wednesday he has a vaccination ... and onwards from there ( including neutering asap ).

While I was rounding up Molly RIR from free ranging a few days back, Miss Ruby snuck into the run, and I found her with her nose underneath Mandy - looking for more chookie woopsies. Mandy ( I kind of think ) was delighted with the attention. Didn't peck, just accepted all that was going on. She'd have definitely moved away, if she hadn't enjoyed it all. Mandy gets around quite well, to where she wants to be ... walking, occasionally low flying and flapping, but generally goes where she wants to get what she wants. Poor girl is still moulting heavily, but pin feathers are growing now - thank heaven.

Cheers all ~~

Good morning folks Fizzy oooh, so when do we get to see piccies of Darcy? Tee hee Susan Serenity sounds like a typical cat … you WILL love me! lol satay no eggs here either, the last egg we had was March 31[SUP]st[/SUP]. Scintillation good to see you found us Welcome! Love the pics! So, it is looking like the 12[SUP]th[/SUP] of May might be pet relocation day and the 16[SUP]th[/SUP] of June relocation day for me. So looking forward to having it all done and dusted and more importantly, getting to see hubby again! If it is the 16th of June, we would have been apart for 14 weeks. The Easter weather at Forrest Beach was not kind as far as coop progress goes but these are the latest from Easter Monday:

I bet you can't wait to see hubby again.
