Oh, that's okay! Either way, I would rather be corrected than be responsible for misinformation.
Ah, Rangi's fine, the little so-and-so!
I was out making sure she and her broodmates were where they belong in their pen, and before I knew it, she had flown up over the fence and to my shoulder.
Naughty girl! She and the others are spending more time out of their pen than in it, though I suppose that means they'll integrate pretty easily into the flock since the big girls seem to ignore them anymore.
Miss Frou-Frou, my Blue Splash Marans, is the one that's been beside herself with jealousy, her and Freema the barred Rock. Frou'f has been all over me since I got Margaret, like she knows there's someone else taking my attention away from her and she wants it back desperately. Frou-Frou's the one that insists on visiting in the house every evening, and I do mean
every evening without fail! And then Freema gets jealous every time I so much as pet another hen, let alone pick them up, so she's got to come over and grump at me while I comfort Frou-Frou and make sure she knows she's still loved.
I do my best to give everyone their attention, just none of them seem to think they're getting the proper amount.
The life of a chicken momma.
