MJ's little flock

[Ribh]

27c at 7.30am today. I think that's in the 90s Fahrenheit. A tad warm.

Our temperatures plummeted suddenly & it has been blowing like the clappers for the last week.

They're quite independent now, aren't they. Unless Mum is lurking behind the log?

Bracket is officially off duty now. The youngsters are pretty sensible. Mag does keep an eye on them, particularly when they are eating. Bracket is very tolerant of them atm which is more than I can say for Knock and her three.

Sure. Her front end caught up with her back end since I last described her. The skin on her face sas salmon pink yesterday instead of baby pink. So perhaps an egg will turn up soon.

This photo was taken from above, so it's not ideal but it shows most of her.

She's getting there.

She is a beautiful girl!

She said, "Thanks Ribh!" and ran away.

She's very sweet, still a baby in many ways. Last in the pecking order but forming a friendship with Aunty Mary. Pegsy and Janet have formed a dynamic duo. So there's a pair of big slow-moving hens and a pair of little ones who dash about.

I love my flighties but am grateful for my big placid girls who calm everything right down. I am learning to appreciate them more. Very little fazes them.

According to what the fodder store people said, she's 23 weeks now. But their info on the pullets was sketchy at best, so she could be younger.

Mary's trust in me continues to grow. I can get quite close without her getting up, especially if I don't make eye contact and I'm clearly doind something to help her, like providing cooler water. I hope she lets me pat her one day.

How cold is it? Any himidity?

We're down to the low 20's, high teens but the wind has been blowing 30k+ from the west ~ where our really cold winds come from. No humidity. Today the wind has dropped & it's quite pleasant.
