MJ's little flock

She is wearing taffeta petticoats!

Yes! Her fluff is extreme! It makes a very good poop catcher.

Hi Grammy it'll be a little busy, but manageable because I've decided to take the hens to the vet and that takes a couple of hours out of the workday. How's your day going?

Busy is good, having a break to take the hens to the vet is also good.

My days going okay, had my 2week check in with work and had to let them know I won't be back yet. I'm ahead of the game, but not easy yet, I have many small issues that I need to overcome first. One step at a time I guess Thank you for asking

Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Easy does it.

Yes, and every now and then I need a reminder

Yes, and every now and then I need a reminder

One of my daily reminders in my phone is "slow down, it's a marathin not a sprint" 9am that one goes off. 10am is "don't eat chocolate" sometimes it's already too late

If she knew you shared that around the world.........

I'm sure I posted about discovering they snore.
I had Ruffles sitting on a clutch in the house nest box. The nest box is about five metres from my bed. It's incredibly quiet here at night. I had been timing her turning her eggs and eventually fell asleep, pen in hand.
Something woke me and I could hear a strange sound coming from the living space. I though maybe there was a wild boar outside grunting. Got out of bed and checked outside. Nothing. Went back to bed and as I was about to fall asleep the sound started up again.
Sounds like that, dripping taps are a good example, have to be discovered before further sleep is possible. I lay in bed trying to locate the sound. I didn't turn the light on this time when I got up to follow the sound. I got as far as the computer chair, a metre or so from the nest box and the sound was definitely coming from the nest box. Of course it stopped as I tried to get closer as Ruffles woke up.
Back to bed. I lay there listening and after a while the sound started up again. This time I just called to Ruffles and told her she was snoring. Ruffles did a bit of egg rearranging and I went off to sleep quietly chuckling to myself. I told all the others the next day that Ruffles snores so loudly she woke me up.
Tackle snores as well but she's more of a raspy whistle.

Imagine how relieved her friends were when you kept her in overnight! "thank goodness! Maybe we get some sleeps tonight!"

She probably didn't snore when roosting. I think something about the position they sit in has something to do with it; maybe compressing an airway slightly.

Mrs mellow, Tackle. Needs a beak wipe.
