Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

Roadworks, earthquake all the same to a chook.

Yep

Thank you .. while I said I solved it, you kind of did by suggesting an 'event' which got me to thinking.

I did not think about the roadworks before with KiKi because I definitely can not feel them and can hardly hear them but I am guessing they would be very upsetting to a chicken and yep, the earth would be shaking.

And now, if anyone does complain or mention that KiKi has been noisy of late .. I can tell them that the roadworks is upsetting her. Her starting to act up would have started around the same time as the roadworks.

OMG! .. I might have rehomed KiKi because of roadworks

I sometimes feel bad venting on here and annoying you guys but if I had not, KiKi would be gone ...... Thank You!!!

Yes it sure is. Even yesterday Brisbane got rain and we got nothing. Think we have had just over 100 mm since summer started way down even for us.

Oh that's terrible, we are on the Goldie and have finally got rain yesterday & today. Nothing like your dry though.

They are laws unto themselves. Don't worry.

Cheers ....

AMEN to that!

I won't worry though, when they're ready to, they will. They're still laying just about everyday. I was hoping they'd embrace moulting, and enjoy the time off from egg laying, though maybe egg laying is preferable to a chicken than going through a full moult? Who knows. Esme however, has been dropping feathers. She's almost seven months old now, pretty much got her full adult feathering and colour, so I'm guessing it's a mini moult. No bare spots or anything, she looks beautiful. I'm still finding Iris' feathers occasionally, though I collect the nice ones of his as momento's.

But boy wasn't it cold this morning! Teeth chatteringly so. Time to dig out my fuzzy dressing gown. I've decided after a long hot, sticky summer I'm going to enjoy the novelty of winter this year. Perfect weather to have a fluffy Silkie sitting on your lap, which Agnes has been enjoying doing the past few days. Normally she doesn't get in on cuddle time, but she was looking up at me, as if to say 'me too!', so I got the stool for her to jump onto so she could get herself onto the banana lounge I sit on. Jumps onto my lap and is more than content to sit there and enjoy soak up my body heat whilst fluffing herself up. She loves to be petted like a cat. Funnily enough my cat doesn't like to sit on laps

I thought it was her usual schtick, I didn't realise it was just a new thing.

Moving into the new house could also have caused some lack of equilibrium. Even though the digs are better, they are still different. Animals are like people, even good things can be stressors.

Yeah, it is definitely her normal schtick to be loud .. so while she is loud, in small doses it is tolerable but not when she goes at it all day.

I think she has been going at it all day because the roadworks may be upsetting her. Anyways, she has been good today, some bouts of loudness but not constant .. early days, but I do believe the radio is helping.

Yeah, it is actually quite chilly now and I am loving it! Hubby and Syba .. not so much.

I am still in shorts and T-shirt but hubby has on the tracky dacks and sweater and Syba is curled up on his lap, warmth sucking

I am also going to soak up every minute of winter
