MJ's little flock

[featherhead007]

It is frustrating, when other people’s lives are in my hands, but they don’t call me “Alexander the Great “ for no reason!!

Hey kat. Just a warning. Don’t eat pizza late at night. It’s heartburn city!

This looks better than the first one I found; in that one the poor rooster didn’t look happy!

I'm going to show this to her and threaten her with it.

But different to poffertjes?

I am not that much of a coneseure. The recipe will be up shortly. You tell me.

I have also heard of pumpkin seeds being a worm preventative but don't know how accurate that is. I roasted the seeds before I gave them to the girls and they seemed rather picky about them. I haven't done it for a while.

I have wormed them once with a really strong wormer as a fecal float showed a tape worm egg and most poultry wormers don't kill tape worms. I used Avitrol Plus, which isn't listed for chickens but I worked out the doseage; 50ml per 1L of water, two doses seven days apart. There is also an egg-withholding period of seven days, but it's a good one if you have a big worm problem.

This is great knowledge. Thanks

I never noticed the similar patterns in the feathers before. They are very pretty ladies!

MJ I almost killed those people with a hard down draft I pulled up just in time (God is always on my side)

Gosh don't tell me this stuff. This is what I was afraid of.

We call those Dutch Pancakes in our house. Mainly because I can't spell or pronounce proffertjies. (Thanks Lozzy, I wasn't game to try my hand at the spelling 'til you did. )

So maybe they are the same thing.

She has a glaring eye. I wouldn't want to get too close! Did she have a go at you after you took this photo Shad?

No. She is quite tolerant of me in general. Both her and her mum, Donk, are not really human friendly types. That's okay. They are both on the feral side and despite many misgivings and heart attck moments Donk has survived thus far so I expect her daughter to do the same.

Lozzy do you believe me?

I believe you. My dad used to be a pilot and he told me some hair-raising stories. I’m glad you were able to recover and get home safely.

Indeed. Raining most of the day and just gotten heavier.

It’s just after 6am and it’s bucketing down!
