“WHAT?”

Does Jaffar know your address? I saw him writing something this morning, with a stamped envelope beside it.
I couldn’t read what he was writing (really bad chicken scratch)

I don't think so, but, he may have found out there are now 6 fluffy blue ladie's here who don't have their own cochin rooster and are having to settle with the marans boys.

She’s Arizona, she’s my baby (yes I am worried)
I did give her some of that cottage cheese and pineapple, with safflower seeds (not sure if she ate any)

Ime hens don't eat well sitting on their nests. You have to lift them off if they won't do it themselves. They go into a broody trance. You have to wake them up for them to eat, bath, poop etc.
It's not hard to do if you know where they are. Just be gentle, Carry them to where they would normally get fed. Make them stand. Crouch or sit isn't good enough.

^^the only pic I could find of the JGs and Jubilee. Back from when they were just babies.

Is that good enough for my tax?

Don’t put it past Jaffar, he’s a smart little guy! (He surely knows how to manipulate me)

 

[Shadrach]

Gee, I wonder why?!

Priceless. Do you think she's after the tea or looking for the rooster?

I thought there was Belgian D’Uccle in there but wasn’t 100% sure.

You're ahead of me, I was thinking Japanese Bantam

Just got a new chick! Any idea if astralorps need anything special?

They're the ones with the impertinent tails...And they do fly very well. Not recommended for Lozzy.

You have to say "G'day Mate" every morning or they sulk

No, they don't need any special treatment.
