Ha! Love seeing these names. Funniest I ever came up with was for my three legged dog I had his name was TimberHahahahaha
Ya had a black cat named Blackie
I hope you feel better quickly and aren’t down long! Beautiful photos as always .I don't think I will manage to get thirsty pictures today- I'm coming down with the " cold" my partner kindly shared with me ( likely COVID but since we're not seeing anyone, it's not worth the hour driving to get a test). I've dug up some from the past days and further .
What I would like to know (unless you don't want to speak about it) is how you feel about Aurora. And how others who are confronted with real bullies, or fights, feel about it.
I'm asking because I get really angry sometimes at my chicken when they act like this, and I shout at the bully, which of course I regret afterwards. It's just the "chicken way" of course but I find it hard to accept.
Contrary to you it was much easier here when I had only the 6 ex-batts : they grew up together with only very light bullying. Ever since I brought Théo and Chipie in, and then Chipie hatched for us, things seem to have become so complicated.
They teach us a lesson in letting go, you mean .
Congratulations to both @RoyalChick and @BY Bob for the winning photos !
Merle on Monday. Good thoughts would be appreciated for her- she's been acting off the last two days.

And the same summer sharing a water bucket with ...ewes . (Please note this is a big no-no in regard to biosecurity, but it was that or leave the ewes on their own in the mountains with a herd of wolves hanging around.)
