Note: I don’t use poison, or weed killer anywhere on my property. The idiot next door, has chooks too (he should know better) yes I have spoken to him about it. He refuses to care.Bad news today. I saw my neighbor putting out mice bait traps around his house (the kind with baited poison inside)
I’m hoping none of those poisoned mice come over to my yard and my chooks eat them!
The lads are all veeeerrry handsome and the ladies
. you've got a gorgeous crew!
The last batch liked perching on/preening on/around them last winter. (Multiple at once) I found that a bit odd as metal is a great cold conductor. They'd do so on the colder days and in the wind (that area catches a lot of it). It also catches a lot of sun and is easily seen from the house so maybe was because they felt safer there. It will be interesting to see what this lot do. Silver and Pear are teaching them to raid the cat food (checking even if dish isn't there). I chased 4-5 plus the adults off the patio several times today. Silver even managed to steal Castor's breakfast while I was watering this morning. I think he went off to find his own as he didn't show back up until around 10.And they are the right size for chickens to drive!
Do not give them the keys to the Tonka trucks, or your yard will look like mine does! (craters everywhere, like the surface of the moon)
Cocoa Puff is gorgeous!
Oh, no! I am glad that you are on the mend, though!
Lovely Branch - telling you just how much he missed you and to not worry him with your extended absence again!
I would have thought it was a Guinea Fowl!The very rarely observed Hamster Chicken. You're lucky to have such a rare breed of chicken and in such magnificent colouration too! I'm quite jelly.
(Don't mind me, sometimes I like to make a little joke)
What does SHRA mean?
