Update here, I know I have been gone for quite a while. Personal upheaval meant I had to rehome my flock and myself and my kids will be moving to an apartment in Delaware where my family is.

Princess is still moulting. I was so sad seeing all her beautiful tail feathers had come out.

I'll take a photo of her later. She has beautiful white feathers coming through but I hope she stops moulting soon it's getting chillier here

Thank you 😊
 
We had our final horse show of the season tonight. I am dead, but after another cup of coffee heading back down to pick up the trash.

I heard some wonderful news from the show proprietor. The stray black rooster that showed up with Randy. I had not saw him since the last horse show 3 weeks ago. I honestly feared he had been taken by a predator. As soon as I arrived she informed me she spent all day after that show and managed to finally catch him and take him home. A week later she decided he was lonely and found a black hen for him. She showed me pictures of the coop and run she built for him and the hen looks to be another Australop like he is.

Well, we got to talking after the show when we had down time. She wanted another hen for him and was hoping her hen would one day hatch chicks. Her coop and run is big enough and nice enough it could hold 20 easily and only has 2. I told her if she wanted a future momma I had the perfect hen for her who constantly went broody.

Karen has a new momma. She may not go broody the rest of this year as it is late in the season and I have already broke her up 6 times this spring and summer. Karen is desperate to be a momma, the time just was never right. The next time she is broody she is going to get her chance.

When I came home and got her for her and brought her down she was in tears with joy. She did not know chickens came in a chocolate color. She marveled over her feathered feet.

Betty has been good to me, I am happy to give her a good hen and pleased to know she has went to a good home.

This is wonderful news! 3 worries alleviated: the black rooster is safe AND not going to cause problems at your place AND she's falling in love with chickens so will NOT permit any more chickens getting dumped around the horse show. BONUS: Karen will get to be a momma and one of the broody headaches will be someone else's delightful problem while you can enjoy regular updates/ see the babies
 
It's a really dark grey day today we have had a bit of wind and we've had some rain. It's a stark contrast from the lovely day we had yesterday.

Princess has had lot's of goodies. Apple and eggs this morning with this new mixed food too forage for with a few sliced courgettes.

She's enjoying out the back a lot more and I took ages getting her onto the front garden yesterday. She was loving it out there so much. But not today, she's on her perch in the coop run at the moment.
