Glad to hear that they are in Greenland despite the issues with sourcing feed.

You know you are a full-on chicken lady when your husband buys you this blouse and you love it and wear it to work!

Hmmmm don’t think we can get that here.

Not without a Vet anyways!!

I know how to mail 'pet supplies', just saying Let me know if you need something we can get here. I can't use USPS....'cause it's a felony...BUT...UPS & Fex Ed and DHL deliver many places outside the US...and 'Pet Supplies' are okay

Next time, if and or when I get married again, I’ll just get 6 baby chicks, give them to her and say “here ya go”!

Thank you! Not polish, she is a Azure Egger (just a fancy EE lol) and they look remarkably like roadrunners. I think the breeding is very similar. Their rather unique mini crest I believe comes from the cream legbar in her mix. I have two of them Snicker and Doodle. They can lay then flat or pull them up like she did in the pic your referencing. Love them!

Yes she has a very fancy hairdo!

Sounds like Er-e Er-e Oooooooo!

Whatever you say is the official once since you do such a good immitation.

Hen-Rietta made some noises and woke me up, but she’s ok. She was just adjusting her position on the perch. She seems quite content being inside the warm room and I’m glad that she’s comfortable. She’s the last of my original tribe, and deserves the best care I can provide her.

They are opportunistic feeders. In Newfoundland they don’t generally even now, feed prepared feed, chickens are fed kitchen scraps and let roam (though back when fish was dried on flakes (big wooden platforms outside) - people kept their chickens locked in, and also their goats - both which had no issues with getting in over fences and eating the drying salted fish!!!

I remember as a child being in Newfoundland and playing with my uncles hens, we would throw them Caplin (small fish like grunion) they would eat that up lickety split!
