MJ's little flock

I'm so sorry for all of you!

Thank you Bob.

I just hope the last baby gets out and onto its feet ok.

I just hope the last baby gets out and onto its feet ok.

I agree with you on that.

You are all in our prayers tonight. I think you did right in trusting Ivy. I sure hope it works out.

I agree with you on that.

You are all in our prayers tonight. I think you did right in trusting Ivy. I sure hope it works out.

Peggy is a step first, think later hen.

Ivy is more inclined to think first.

Peggy's ok. She's found Janet's egg to sit on.

Did your 2 pluck their breast feathers when sitting MJ?

Did your 2 pluck their breast feathers when sitting MJ?

A little, yes. Ivy more than Peggy.

Peggy pulled out 5-6 feathers, Ivy around a dozen or so.

 

[CLUCKING CHICKENS]

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.
