MJ's little flock

Lol… chicken math problems! They both came from Shoalhaven Zoo and honestly, they’re not chicken people there. Bela is definitely a frizzle (cross) and if he has babies with a non-frizzle, the babies should be frizzle-crosses. I wonder if G-man has some Arucana in him, but I think they’re all really just bitsas. I was hoping Angel would lay blue eggs as I thought she might have some Arucana in her, but she doesn’t. I thought she and G-man had similarities.

Here’s Angel:

I didn't know they came from Shoalhaven zoo! I can kinda understand your hesitance about them going back there now, it's a really odd zoo.

They actually said to me that the would most likely be euthanised if we took them back there. I’m really glad I didn’t have to.

Angle is so pretty
She does look very similar in some ways, like the tufted on top of the head.

I wonder if G-man has some Arucana in him, but I think they’re all really just bitsas.

That's what I was wondering too. He looks rather like some of the EEs I've seen

It warms my heart to see you two chatting about Bela and G-man

I hope I haven't been taking over your thread too much. Just say so, and I'll go somewhere else
@LozzyR here's the video I took.

I will, but right now all I can think about is what a gorgeous environment they're in! So many things to do and see.

That’s wonderful, thank you. I showed it to my son and while he misses them, he’s happy they’ve got a chance at life.

My brother's a chef and he's out of work right now, which means he's had time and inclination to do some handyman work for me!

He's

• Cleaned the big coop
• Cleaned the little coop
• Assembled nest boxes
• Moved plants around
• Cut down the reeds
• Stopped sparrows from getting into the big coop
• Paved the interior perimeter of the funrun up to the point of running out of pavers
• Painted some timber
• Worked on the new roost
• Tidied the garage so I can get my bike out without removing the wheelbarrow first
• Cut some branches into kindling
• Attempted to take rubble to the tip, had to bring it back again
• Fed the citruses
• Staked a couple of cuttings
• Installed hooks on the living room window frames
• Flushed out and stored a hose
• Removed the old misting system from the big coop (I couldn't think of a time it might be needed)
• Helped me move a heavy cupboard
• Put a new back on another cupboard

It might sound unkind, but I love it when he's out of work! It makes a nice change to have a reliable tradie available. Tomorrow he's going to do more work on the new roost. At some point, he's going to stain the new picnic table.

Wow. That’s a lot.
Wish he were closer - I have a long list he could tackle!
