You know that you're going to have to post us a picture once you receive it, Pyxis! We love to see Nambroth's art - she captures the essence of all our feathered friends so perfectly!
I'm just going to have to be sooooo patient, and it's sooooo difficult!!!
Come on Mr La Poste, bring me my pictures!

KayTee, I looked at the tracking info (which is usually only good until the item leaves the US) and it says it left the Chicago sorting station on the 14th (good grief) which is where the packages I send internationally leave the USA... so it looks as if it only let the US on the 14th. I should say that the US post office often takes its dear sweet time with first class postage... eek.
Sometimes they scan it once it hits international destinations... but not usually! So, fingers crossed.

A few photos! Yesterday was decent enough to go outside for a bit with the ladies, and the Baron.
The Lorp's fantastic feathers were catching the sun as she jumped into the Fud Lady's lap. What did the Lorp want? Only the Evil Queen herself knows, as it wasn't treats, and it certainly wasn't that she wanted to be touched! She strutted back and forth, as if to bathe the Fud Lady in her resplendence, before hopping down again.
Willow follows Millie.
Willow preens Millie.
Willow crawls uncomfortably under Millie at any opportunity.
Mildred, bless her cushion, tolerates this with all the kindness of a matronly pillow. “Oh, you are under me again. Well, that’s okay. My floof is here for you, dear one.”
Derp is derping right along. I didn't get any good photos of her, as she was buried into my chest most of the afternoon, having a snooze.
The Baron continues to improve. We take him outdoors with the girls when they do their supervised free range, and he is very excited by them. He chats and woos and does a little dance. No one is interested in him, poor fellow. Moa, the boss hen, downright dislikes him. How DARE he try to put the moves on any of the girls under HER care! NOT ACCEPTABLE.
She will chase him off, but he can't run very well so he ends up getting a bit panicked. That's when I have to step in.
This morning, as a test, I put him in the coop while I was out there. Everything was very nice; actually, he and the Lorp were being very cute and were wooing one another before she went into the box to lay her egg. The problem is big ole' mean boss Moa just won't have it. She will chase him, and he freaks out, and leaps up onto the roost (it is low). The problem is, he doesn't have enough strength or coordination to get back down again! If I left him outside he'd end up sitting up there all day and not eating or drinking... or moving his legs. Not good.
I am glad that Moa is protective and matronly of the other girls-- she should be, and it's a fine thing-- at the same time, the situation is not good for the Baron. The only thing I can think of doing is perhaps bringing Moa indoors, away from the flock, while the Baron re-acclimates to them. I hate to disrupt her top position but I can't have her harassing him so horribly. He moves around so much more outdoors with the girls, I think that it will be the best physical therapy I can give him. Indoors, he is a bit lazy unless I make him get up and walk around, which he is fine at now, though a bit stiff.
