MJ's little flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

Pepper is still moulting. It's a bit blurry because she won't stand still but you can just see how tatty she is poor darling.

I send Violet out to do the same
They sit on the top of her trampoline and poop all over it, so then she won’t use it
I’m going to have to do something
Anyone have any ideas? I’ve seen holographic tape and those fake owls but I can’t imagine any of it working...

I know of nothing that will keep them away. Lilly spent years trying to drive them off. if that wont work nothing will.

I know.

I remain dumbfounded that there are no avian specialists within a reasonable drive of your house.

I'm going to try and do another search one of these days to see if anyone has opened up shop.

She is a daredevil that one!

They are!
With the family all having colds I haven’t been as snap happy so I’ve just gone out and gotten some shots (some are reserved for mugs Monday )

Bokky with her new feathers coming in. They are a beautiful darker brown. Still a bit to go before she’s done but going well.

Snow seems to be finishing her final growing up moult. Her tail feathers are all black now whereas she used to have white outlines on them. Fingers crossed it means laying soon

Then this happened. Belle loves to get on my back or shoulder if I’m in the right height range. And here was me thinking she was shy with me because I haven’t been hanging out like in school holidays

Sorry to flood your thread

Just wonderful. It is good to see them all again!

 

[BY Bob]

Yes. Super easy. Mine has 3 holes on the sides & pegs to fit them so you can keep the lid open while they learn that's where the food is then gradually lower it until they must step on the foot to open the lid. They have never got trapped either, which I was afraid of.

I may wish to consider this so there is no return of the Le Rat.
