MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

It's windy today and an empty snail shell is being blown along the concrete. It sounds like a tinkling bell.

Spoiler: Soooo...

Blossom is on high alert because she thinks there's a phantom cat lurking by the back door.

Do you find that your hens fight when the broody is off the nest? That's the reason that I eventually try to break my broodies, because of the fighting!
I had twelve broodies over the summer!

Make that thirteen broodies!! Penny must have heard me talking and decided to go broody for her fifth time this summer!

She really wants to hatch a clutch! Can you give her some fertile eggs?

I have thought about it, but now is not the time. It's fall here now with temperatures getting down to freezing most nights. We could get snow anytime.
I am also slightly hesitant to let my broodies hatch because my husband is dead set against cockerels and I would almost certainly get at least one!
Maybe I can try to let one of them adopt sexed chicks sometime. We don't have stores here with day old chicks like many on BYC, so it takes a bit of planning.

Good evening MJ and everyone

So much in such a short period of time. We are praying for a quick recovery and that the next few years are easier for you both.

Thank you everyone

Good evening folks

Another day of four??? What the heck is going on around here? Am I getting all my Christmases at once or what?

 

[MaryJanet]

And Blossom has started to show some curiosity in the chickens' turf.

She better watch out or she'll earn herself a staring contest from Mary and we all know how that will turn out! (Ivy wins)

Chickening can be rather complex sometimes.

Dinner time! Everybody tuck in please!

Peggy! There's nothing wrong with your skates. Now get over here and eat your dinner.

Thank you.
