Thanks for replying Marie. That all sounds so cosy and peaceful.

Far from peaceful at meal times, it like the race is on here. They all love their food they are not on their own

Bluey?

Bluey? What's that about?

My animal's keep my sanity.

Me too - though there are some friends of mine who question whether me chatting away to chickens and cats is evidence of sanity.

Grow your own!
In the mean time you can always get dried rosemary from the herb section at the supermarket.

Thank you... I’ll look into both

HI Alex.

Glad to see you are safely home with your loving chooks.

Glad you said hi!

Really? How big was it? My flock would have eaten it !

It was tiny, less than a foot long. I put it down and Ginger grabbed it, but when it wriggled and tried to bite her she jumped in the air, wings all a flutter, let out a startled and indignant squawk, dropped it, and was done with it. Then Mrs. Howell gave it a go with very similar results. After watching the other two, Maryanne decided she didn't want a turn at it after all and just walked away. In short, they were all a bunch of chickens and the little guy scared them off.

They did not eat it? I'm sure mine would have eaten it.

They ran away like a bunch of chickens!

I have a little garter snake that keeps venturing into the chicken yard... the gals are wary and I always run in there to save the little critter before they decide he would make a nice meal!! I did feed them a cute little frog the other day... only because his back legs were broken.. he was just dragging them along... so I thought I’d put him out of his misery... so to speak
