MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

The weather has not been conducive to the task of raking out the run.

Maybe next weekend.

Nice to see Katie tucking in to the pellets.

I bought a grain mix to increase her weight but she prefers pellets to grains.

Mary continues to have reduced depth perception from when she was pecked in the eye.

Poor dear. How does that manifest?

Poor dear. How does that manifest?

When she's trying to eat tomato, she can't make contact. Sometimes she reaches several times then gives up (which is heartbreaking because tomato is her very favourite treat) and sometimes she tries a bit longer and makes contact.

When she's eating from the feeders, it's a different matter because she knows she can dig her beak down deep without harm, so she reaches far enough on her second or third attempt.

It dates from her eye injury. Prior to that she was able to target and reach her food first time.

Oh dear. That is sad.

My dad also used to like Promite, which I could also never get into.

I remember watching a young American man’s face when he took his first bite of Vegemite; he wasn’t a fan!

That might have been me.

Thanks, i am sorry too. It’s annoying (flexible harnas) and painful.

you didn’t really miss it , it happened yesterday.

Because it was a no go to sleep in a tent we booked an Airbnb with chickens last night. Two polish are hiding behind the barrel. Sorry for the lousy photo (only one hand to make it).

So sorry to hear about your shoulder. Hopefully it heals quickly. I will not share hugs as they are probably painful.

Poor baby. That is heartbreaking.
