MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

If she does hatch chicks one day, they'll be well hidden by her fluffy haunches!

And warm!

A delivery arrived today!

Spoiler: What could it be??

Super cute hanging basket brackets for holding the roost up in the roosting box!!

Before you ask, so far I've had time to paint only one timber because both work and social life have been hectic.

I love it, but how would it hold a roost?

Yes, it's quite big and strong.

I mean, I'll tie it on! Probably with black cable ties passed through a hole drilled in the roost.

I'm very fond of my "old" stuff as well, even if it is a bit battered much like it's owner. I've had people say "why don't you get rid of that old so and so?" Thing is I've had most of it since I was 20 something. It's survived numerous relocations and I rather suspect much of the modern stuff I could afford would be at the local tip by now.

I have items since I was a kid.
I found my old “Ben Casey” shirt! Size 10.
And I have letters and drawings.

Got it. Good idea. I used salvaged brackets for roosts but they are all shelf brackets and the roost is instead of the shelf.
It took me many hours of sanding off the rust and then painting but I am happy with the result.

Then she was behind the table for several steps before emerging on the other side.

Bye bye Darling!

Naturally my mind went THERE, and I am thinking “oh oh, chicken poop on the wood floor”.

Wasn't it! Have your chickens ever wandered indoors?

I had a dream last night that Edwina came into the house and jumped on the bed trying to wake me up. She pooped everywhere too.

I blame you.
