MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

There is more than one!
This one on her way back having been thrown out of the goose run.

They're developing a healthy appreciation of their new freedoms

 

[MaryJanet]

Yes. She and Edwina came to investigate it as soon as we put it down.

Judging by the kicked up mulch, I would say that they have been under it already today.

Oh good! Have you had any rain yet?

Good evening folks

Good morning

Cheeky rascal! Would a second rooster help?

Don't know. This is new stuff to me. I know, from one extreme to another,
I've gone from semi feral/free range mainly healthy independent tribes to a bunch of contained sickly Ex Batts and rescues.
It's now a case of learning what works best for them while trying to give them more independence and a more natural life. Not many are going to live for long.
Two I know of I will probably have to kill in the not to distant future; hopefully not but I've identified with some who is pooping what and a couple have reproductive problems or organ disease.

It rained today, but not heavily enough to make them run for shelter. They mostly spent the day under the eaves of the house following me from room to room and watching me through the windows.

Good evening MJ and everyone

Day 12 for Mary

View attachment 2862130

She seems to be coping well with no harm done to herself or her friends.

I can't see a reason to intervene and if she wants to keep on for another 9-10 days, barring unforeseen events, that will be ok.

Keep up the good work Mary. Take care of yourself.

It is tough to hear that some aren't going to make it. I trust that you will do what is best for them.

Can you add a picture please?
