MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

They were great confidants of mine those hens I used to talk to them whenever life was overwhelming.

I bet you still do that. I know I do and I am doing so right now.

 

[MaryJanet]

It's not so much an unburdening these days, but I do chat to them as I go about my chickening sometimes I scold Janet when she's mean.

I thought you were supposed to talk to them.

 

[MaryJanet]

Mary is a great listener, the other two don't have the inclination

Mine are great talkers; not so great in the listening department. Definitely not obedient!

 

[MaryJanet]

Obedience is rather scarce at our place too! Although Sandy tries her best.

Here's Mary defying the vet by taking a nice high perch in the exam room.

Such a handsome chap! Very green! Do your Australorp hens' tails curve downwards or point upwards? In Australia, the Australorp tails curve over and down.

Their tails are point up. I noticed your bird has a comb and wattle and they are rosy. Mine barely have either and are almost black. I don't know why. Here are pics of my 2 girls, Lucy & Molly.

Beautiful girls! Is the one in the middle an Easter Egger? I have one that looks like her.

 

[MaryJanet]

No, she's a Barnevelder but she's not true to type. She ought to have yellow legs and dark brown eggs. But her plumage is nice

Did they get a clean bill of health from the vet, MJ?
