MJ's little flock

Keep an eye out for a mud covered white girl called princess, she making her way to you right now

So someone was throwing away these panels in my street so I grabbed them. Could screw them together for a future chick pen extension on the old coop…

The farm lady I got the girls off has messaged to say she doesn’t know who’s laying or how fertile the eggs she has are because her girls are starting to moult but if I want some bitsa eggs to try and get Belle to hatch I can have them for nothing.
I’m waiting to see Belle’s staying power this time around while I think about it
Don’t want to rush in but I also want to give Belle what she seems to really REALLY want!
Damn these ladies are hard, figure I’m letting her sit this time anyway but I can’t be home the whole time during her ordeal which has me indecisive about the operation.
The eggs, if I choose to get them, may not be viable anyway.
What if Aunty Snow pecks them to death.
What if Belle does.
*sigh*

Your experience MJ has both inspired me and put me off the idea. I’m sorry egg no.2 isn’t looking like hatching

I also think about @BY Bob’s Mal and the possibility something could happen to Belle before next season and I’ll never get to give her the chance and it saddens me as I know Bob felt with Mal.

I know you like long posts but I’m sorry for thinking aloud so much.

You should also consider my Sydney.

Cuteness again

 

[MaryJanet]

Wonderful!
Interesting she holds on so hard. None of mine grip. They just stand.

Like most two year olds, she was holding on tight throughout the elevator ride and at the point of disembarking, as the elevator rolled away beneath her, a mild panic set in and she gave me a few scratches.
"Accidentally"

 

[MaryJanet]

I know, right? How sharp are chook claws?! River often gets me good when she’s struggling. She may not be well but she’s still strong!

Alarmingly strong little feet and legs!

 

[MaryJanet]

Aww!

It's summer here, so yes hens are broody. Is it summer where you live?
