I heard that even the flight attendants on the Airlines are very dangerous.In Australia.

Do tell.

Deana the safety chicken approves of this idea.

We as a whole team, are doing good. We have Deana, the safety chicken, and Jaffar, the emotional support rooster!

Just look at that fabulous tail! What breed is she?

Also today we let our chickens free range in our yard for the whole morning and half the afternoon. Runner still seems a little "worn out", but still much more lively. She will still run when I try to catch. Do you think that maybe she is just not as lively as before because we moved them into a much smaller place?

She's a black Japanese bantam. I have a splash, a black tailed white & a birchen as well. They are gorgeous little chickens; true bantams, & have lovely dispositions.

Her house is literally about a dozen steps to the sea she posts amazing views on her thread and her chooks wake up to a sea view every morning.

It's true the chooks wake up to a sea view but the beach is @ the bottom of a really steep hill & more mud & mangrove than rather coarse sand but it is all ours, very seculded & quiet.

 

[Ribh]

I usually pipe up and say the beach is only 5 minutes walk from my house, but that doesn't carry much appeal in a discussion @Ribh might see

You do remember we are more mud & mangrove than actual sand?

I did, but for the sake of japes, I decided to pretend I didn't.

Oh Peanut
I like the yogurt ball approach you've mentioned. Will make a batch this weekend (low on Fage here...)

I forgot to list the calcium and D3 that's in the yogurt balls: two level teaspoons of ground up calcium citrate and D3 and calcium carbonate. It's a total of about 2200 mgs of calcium total. Divided by four chickens if they ate equally that's 550 mgs of calcium each.
