I'm sending my thanks to everyone for your kind support it's more than appreciated

Tina and Princess have had a good half of a water melon today and right now having their favourite, spiced up sardines. Just trying to let them know they are very much loved

The Big Wild World

The Rascals, when they are not playing dead, are very curious. So it did not take long for them to start venturing out the open door.

Lady Featherington and Glynda were enjoying the fresh breeze on the porch.

Then Gucci decided to join them. This would have consequences.

Spoiler: Consequences

Of course, Glynda could not let Lady Featherington explore all alone.

They are all back together in the Hut as Lady Featherington flew back up onto the porch and Glynda walked 1/2 up the ramp and flew the rest.

Initial exploration complete. It's time for a nap.

I feel Lady Featherington flew down to search for the manservant to bring drinks (probably cocktails, but maybe tea) to the ladies on the porch.

Were you not being diligent in your duties Bob?

Great meal! All my chooks had for breakfast was baby back rib leftovers and yogurt with strawberries .

Playing Dead

These Rascals have developed a new game which involves scaring the life out of me. I know who the instigator is.

Her Name is Gucci.

The game is........

Play Dead​

The first time I saw her like this I was certain she had passed. Her one leg was even sticking up in the air a little.

This was bad enough, once I figured out she wasn't dead simply laying around like this. But now she has Lady Featherington doing it.

Again my heart stopped. This is not fun.

I have never had any other chickens lay like this when not sunbathing. I am pretty certain that Gucci started doing it to take pressure off her hocks as she is still sitting a lot because of her leg.

Still, I wish they would come up with a better joke to play on me.

Why they do this to us is just unknown. The number of people who have looked at my chickens and said “OMG! Is that chicken ok?!? What’s wrong with it?” I mean really, some of the weird positions the put themselves in

Not action shots, not dust bathing… just lying around in the most awkward positions being weirdos!

Lady Featherington had to go get her manservant? Gez what is FBA coming to?

Sorry, but they ate every last morsel. (They always do!)

Public Service Announcement

It is not well enough understood that while tube feeding your sick chicken there are certain hazards.
Do not try and get leverage against a stuck syringe plunger by placing it upside down on the table and pushing down hard. In this instance the tube will fly off the syringe and baby bird formula will shoot into the air.
Don't worry, it is not lost. It will return to earth in big, brown, wet dollops.
It is much like if a whole flock of geese undertook a synchronous pooping exercise right over your head.

I could swear I heard Bella chuckle.

I am off to wash my hair.

Ya they yell at you if they catch you in the building

A room is meant to be filled! That’s what they are for!

Yeah but the one with all the commercial electrical stuff for the freezers and heavy equipment, the breaker panels and such… they don’t like it when you block it off completely with seasonal decor.
