Happy New Year! It's 15 minutes until midnight, I guess I should really go to bed.

Happy New Year!! It's almost 8am here, time to get ready for work.

@micstrachan here you go!!!

Wow. Thank you for sharing. It made me cry. Sort of wonderful and sad at the same time. I guess I will all be like that when I hear "BAWK!" or "Meow"!

Boo, that sucks. I’ve spent most of the day scrapbooking. I’m glad I’ve got another two weeks off; Covid has reared it’s ugly head in our city. Again.

Yes! But I sometimes leave out the baking step.

Me too.

Well done chookies!

I'm a little foggy this morning, did Peggy win the overall title?.

A parcel arrived for Hubby today and it was my belated Xmas present.

He got me the hardcover with the leghorn! Thank you Hubby!

Chicken for scale and comparison.

Just an awesome picture! Looks like Tsuki is about to hop down and start studying.

Tsuki pondering "Is that a mirror?"

If it is, it's a fun house mirror and makes her look thinner. Of course that is probably how she views herself.

Mary

Mary is a black Australorp. She is the prettiest of my three chickens with iridescent black plumage and big black eyes that go blink-blink in a very charming way.

Favourite hobby: drinking. Mary is a waterholic.

Favourite saying: wohr-wohr

Rank: formerly Lieutenant, now Captain. Captain's rank was obtained by strategically using her weight, agility and determination to obtain the top spot on the roost from the disgraced former Captain, Janet.

Named after: Mary is named after Mary Kopscanyi. Mary Kopscanyi was my Nana's great-niece. Mary showed me kindness and love from the day I was born until the day she died. Her house is across the street from my house (both houses were built at the same time by the same person - my great-great uncle) but it is now owned by a lovely young family of four. Mary's house was built for her grandmother, Sarah, who was my grandmother's oldest sister. Tragically, Mary's mother died young, so Sarah provided Mary with a loving home and family life. Mary passed away quite suddenly in 2016, although she was well into her 80s. Her husband, Frank, died in 2017. They are both survived by their daughter Elizabeth who I don't call often enough. I'll call her today. Mary the chicken helps me keep Mary Kopscanyi's memory alive.

She's a beautiful gal! I too have a Black australorp named Nelly and she is by far my favorite in the plumage category <3

Remind me how you treated Mag’s legs? Coconut oil? Both my Wyandottes have SLM pretty bad.

Vasaline and betadine mixed 75% to 25%.
Once the mites are gone I try to treat every few days with coconut oil.
