MJ's little flock

[Scrambles83]

Yup, my Lilly will occupy a nest box for hours with no hope of laying. I think she laid 4 eggs last year. @MaryJanet calls it reminiscing. I even made fun of her for it.

Love it! Good to know it’s not just Bok
I’m reading through your Fluffy Butt Acres thread but may take me a while...

No worries. Feel free to comment. I like to look back and reminisce myself. It's a bit of a novel. No one will blame you if its too much.

So sorry.

RIP Tree Begonia!

Wouldn't want it to get chilly. Such a considerate young lady.

What a good girl!
Is that pine shavings in the nest box? I use straw only because we bought a massive bale when we got our original ladies but i’m on the verge of needing to buy more and am looking to change.
Would you recommend what you have in this pic? Looks comfy and easy to clean

Yes it’s pine shavings, but I buy it from the pet shop as it’s had the dust extracted, as dust can give chooks respiratory problems. When I change their bedding, it becomes part of the deep litter (although the litter isn’t that deep at the moment). I just pick out the poo and that goes in an unused garden bed.

Cool. Something like this?

Sitting in the nest and reminiscing

Not being able to ride a bike. I just assume it's something everyone has done.

Ah, you're talking about people who have balance.

Not a confident bike rider but I was very good at swimming. I always said that's because it's the only sport where you can't fall down. ☺
