MJ's little flock

Glad it went so well.

It helps that he's so experienced with hens. He works gently and slowly. She didn't even twitch her leg.

Hope it works for you!

I may get a couple for the roost. I'm sure they'd work on mosquitoes too.

Katie had her leg bandage removed last night. It's one of those tasks which is challenging for one person, a breeze for two. I supported one foot and kept my other hand over her wings just in case. The neighbour gently removed the dressing from the leg that wasn't supported. Easy breezy.

I find that's often the case. When we are two we almost always find ways to hold and treat a chicken that are the least annoying and invasive, but when you're alone there aren't that many options. Quite a few times I find I have to put them in awkward postures to treat and hold them at the same time. I'm in awe of all of you who do it always on your own, actually !

Katie and Edie roosted in the big coop. That means I don't get to pick them up and relocate them

Maybe they will let you from time to time as a treat.

I'll sneak out and plant some kisses if I get too lonely.
