MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

I'm betting that Mal will take over

I need to weigh her again. I think she may be almost as big as Hattie now. I know she is exceedingly strong. She seems to be putting the full package together to take over at some point.

Hi @rjohns39 and @Grammy60 it's Friday morning and I'm sitting on my back step with tea and toast, watching the chooks and catching up on byc. How are you both? Are the barred hollands doing ok?

Coop clean out is on the cards

It's sping here and there's been rain and warmth, perfect for mites to multiply. So tomorrow, I'm going to remove everything that isn't nailed down, shovel out the litter, hose down the walls, spray with coopex, put everything back, and spread fresh litter. And then I'll rest well knowing for sure no mites are bothering the hens

I just remembered something. Whenever there's fresh litter in the coop, Mary has to make a thorough inspection and maybe be frightened for a while. She'll need about 45 endearing minutes before bedtime

Good morning MJ Have a great Friday. I'm meeting with the communications team soon to figure out what time to chat with our folks in AUS.

Ah ok! If they're all on one coast, it shouldn't be too hard, but if you've got some in the east and some in the west it could be tricky I'm in a group with people in Europe, the US and Australia! Someone always has to take the night shift when we meet online.

I did a thorough clean a while back but it really hasn't warmed up here yet & the wind has been ferocious!

Hi That sounds so relaxing-enjoy yourself

We are both doing fine and staying busy. Thank goodness tomorrow is our Friday and we can breath a little relax time here. The Barred Hollands are doing great for the most part, the babies are not liking the cold nights though.

Good evening MJ
