MJ's little flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

It's been blissful!

I even went out for lunch and a bit of a rummage around the market yesterday. Found myself a new old teacup and was given a tarnished old EPNS coffee pot and creamer. Can't wait to give them a bicarb soda hot bath and see how they come up.

I'll do a before/after shot for ACM shame the hinge on the coffee pot is wonky.

They are lovely MJ.

Thanks for thinking of me!

I want to fund that study in humans!

Don't you mean you want to participate in the study ByBob?

Thanks! I was really worried about them over the weekend, it was so hot! They looked so stressed and I didn’t want to give them a cool bath in case it stressed them even more. I’ve also put the shade cloth back up in the run and also put a bamboo fence panel behind the favoured henhouse, to deflect the heat from the fence.

Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Great job!

A moment later and Mary had pooped in the exact spot she is inspecting...

You can't see Ivy because

It is always best to select the best possible spot to drop your poo. I'm glad to see Mary is taking it seriously. Poor Ivy. I hope she is getting up on her own this time. Someday she will make a great mum.

You are correct. I need to better check my language.

Those are a good shape and will polish up nicely!

I like the touches of bakelite although I'm slightly worried about whether a bicarb soda bath is a good thing for bakelite. I need to check up on that.

If I had a safer environment for chicks, I'd get her a half dozen eggs. She's very good at getting up nowadays ( because she doesn't need me to pick her up (and cuddle her))

You're practicing for when the study eventually opens, surely.

Seriously, someone i know once studied intoxication and participants had to drink vodka

I went and got myself tested for covid yesterday. The nasal swab was worse than the throat swab. Not at all painful but uncomfortable and astoundingly deeper than I thought possible. Anyway I'm still in isolation while waiting for the results. The team at the testing station loved the Saint Nicola sticker I put on the car Nicola is the name of the person running SA's public health response to the pandemic.

Why did you need to get tested MJ? I didn't think you had been out and about much.
