MJ's little flock

I will Bob.

@BY Bob I'm a little perplexed there are no avian specialist vets near your house. It's a good business opportunity for a vet. I wonder why it turned out like this? Is vet science an unpopular career choice? Is avian specialist education too expensive? What are your thoughts Bob?

Unfortunately I was unable to get a photo of her snoozing because every time the car stopped moving, she perked up and I was not confident to take the photo while driving.

It always amazes how calm & curious chickens are. Any time I bring one of mine into the house to be treated for something they are always avidly curious rather than frightened. Amazing really.

They're wonderful little creatures.

It became very out of fashion to attach emotions to animals but I think anyone who's really paying attention understands they form friendships & deep bonds.

My cats are older rescue kittens. They saw a lot of animals leave & never return before I got them so when I had to take Kirby to the vet Marlow lost it. He grieved deeply, thinking, I am sure, he would never see his bonded brother again. When I brought Kirby home again, Marlow's joy & relief were evident. Kirby, who had had a chicken wishbone removed from 1/2way down his throat, was less enthusiastic!

Same with the chickens. They have the ones they prefer to roost next too ~ & those they avoid. There are some odd friendships; Lottie & Tuppence for example. Ha'penny is more likely to run with Luna or Hepzibah.
