Or is it all in the tale?

Birds of a Feather

Hattie has this big coop thing figured out.

I couldn’t interest Chickie in mealy worms today. She did, however, scoff her pork mince and shredded cheese.

They’re probably thinking exactly the same thing about you!

The bit in quotes is them talking.They are looking at the camera.
All my quote style pictures are meant to be the chickens talking.

Really can't fault the chickens for taste in food. They love a bit of wild boar. Turn up with some proper mature cheddar and they'll rip your arm off for a piece.

I got that. You said they were funny to watch, I was thinking that they might think you’re funny to watch too! I was going to say something about Bucket Boy but couldn’t think of anything particularly clever.

At least she is eating. I know that sometimes I pass on dessert. If she ate the pork with gusto I would not read anything into it.

In fact, my newbies are not excited by mealy worms the way the old ladies are.

That is so true. The response to cheese is astonishing. And pork! I tell people all the time how much the hens love to eat pig. It is right st the top of the favorites list.

Right up High Again

Lilly was back on the high roost again last night. Check out how she got up with no trouble despite the leg.

So Farmer Bob was up before the sun again today to take her down.

It’s really hard to gauge how she is. She’s obviously not at her best, but she’ll inhale cheese and eat most of her pork mince, but turns her beak up at almost everything else. She’ll have a dig in the garden, but will also stand around not doing much. She’s been alarm-calling at the sight of the new girls but did that much less today. She’s also moulting again. She drank when I put water down for her, it was quite hot today.
