I know a lot of this is camera angle, but have I mentioned that Bella is a big girl? She really is!

To Venture into the Wider World or Not

Lady legbar has been contemplating the outside world a lot today.

Thanks you and me both...

Have to say though, there is something to be said for the splendors of the night

I should try to dig up some of my northern lights pics. Maybe @Lexicon also has some me to share

Yes, let me take a look through our photo files, although we are definitely not in Northern Lights season currently. More like midnight sun season!

Last summer I had such a hard time getting my one year old chickens to go to bed. They wanted to party in the sun, I wanted to close up the coop, turn on the electric fence and go to sleep! This year as mature two year old ladies, they are on the roost all settled by 7:30 - 8:00 pm!

I let Jaffar stay inside for a while. He was watching over Xzit, but she started getting nervous after a short time. So he’s outside now chasing his other ladies. (Even in the heat of the day) it’s 94f

It's been hot here for the past few days I'm a different colour

Go on It's all for Mrs Bob. You're sooo kind

All I need now, is a good updated VPN for my iPhone!

I would love to know how to use mine for when I'm out shopping if nothing else

Also blaming you… and karma. Definitely enabler karma… be careful it may come for you and Barb too. You might find an orphaned Camel out on a pipeline job, adopt it, and bring it home!

Mmm a that would be lovely in my back garden I could even go food shopping on it

Thirsty Thursday: Pullet Water

The pullets have not left the coop and nest box area yet. This is a problem as their food an water was all down below. We had to move water to the coop for them. Once we did, they drank for over 6 minutes! The legbar had to lead the way for the others to even find the water. Here is a sample of the long drink.

After this we threw some chick feed in the coop so they could at least eat something. Hopefully they venture further out today.

Fingers crossed

Belladonna sounds like a goose. Primula and Asphodel both sound like geese with stuffy sinuses.

You should hear @Ribh girls

Muppet?

Does this pullet not look like a Muppet?
