It is so nice to have today off! Finally stopped raining. Wouldn't be Memorial weekend without rain!

Picsia Mug for your Monday viewing pleasure
Look how her wattles have a slight red tint to them.

RC! I'm disappointed in you! Just look at those fabulous lawn chairs you have. They would be great for hiding under (and perching on). Why isn't one of them in the chook garden?

Honestly because I can't lift them!
I do have two chairs and a table in the chicken's garden and I think I might deploy a sun brolly as well.

3. Aurora and Maleficent join us, tribe is now 6, Patsy, Lilly, Jabber, Hattie, Aurora, and Maleficent.
4. Jabber departs. tribe is now 5, Patsy, Lilly, Hattie, Aurora, and Maleficent.

All in three years.

A quick moment to remember the greatest hen ever.

On her last day, Patsy stayed by her side until the end. I will always be grateful to Patsy for that and I did the same for her when it was her time.

Here is a short video of me holding Daisy as the end arrived. We sat together for a few hours and then she asked to be put down so she could spend her last moments with Patsy as seen in the photo directly above.

The skies today remind me so much of this day. Let's remember her for the jaunty lady she was.

WALNUT!

I got this wonderful video of Aurora yesterday. Check out how as she closes in on the walnut one of her eyelids closes to protect her eyes.

Ooooh - slow-mo with her muffs flying around.
WONDERFUL!

“To Daisy, the greatest hen ever... I’m raising a double neat of Jane Walker (had to wait until it was an acceptable hour here on the westcoast) in memory of you.”

Well done. I, too, shall toast Daisy TGHE with a shot of Bailey’s in my coffee. I know it’s early but, hey, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere! ️

Love to all the hens, (And roosters) we have loved before!
Jaffar ubdate: He has his loud crow back, and no signs of a gurgle in his throat. He's doing a great job taking care of the ladies now too.

Such good news. You are a pretty good nurse my friend.
