I think Phyllis would like to sit upon the sofa. I know Mal liked it!

What about @micstrachan ’s babies on the dog bed?!

Then she was behind the table for several steps before emerging on the other side.

Bye bye Darling!

What a wonderful tour she took around your beautiful home!

Very little of it is really mine. Most of it belonged to this or that aunt or cousin or grandies. But it makes for a lovely home!

Ribh's rug is never far from my comfy chair

Remind me now… a “rug” is the pastel colored crocheted item in one of the photos, correct? We call those “blankets.” Small, decorative ones can be called “throws,” and small, functional ones are called “lap blankets.”

“Rugs” are like mini carpets and live on the floor. Like this:

In all the excitement of Janet's field trip, I forgot to share these lovely shots of Ivy from last night.

I still think Ivy is one of the most beautiful chickens I’ve seen.

A delivery arrived today!

Spoiler: What could it be??

Super cute hanging basket brackets for holding the roost up in the roosting box!!

Before you ask, so far I've had time to paint only one timber because both work and social life have been hectic.

OMG, spectacular!!!

All these chicken-inside-house photos make me a little jelly, because at the new rental, the entrance goes straight to carpet, and the chickens won’t really be on that side of the house. Makes me want to let them all inside this weekend (at the current place, before the move) if they want. If it happens, I’ll take photos!

Hey MJ and all.
Catching up after over a week away from BYC. Great to see Ivy up and about and the house tour pics were fantastic cheeky girl!!
I hope your new girls are going well and that they caught that mouse @LozzyR
@BY Bob, your thread is next but I have the feeling there will be hundreds of pages to catch up on there

Snow has started her moult, damn light Sussex have a lot of feathers. She’s about 4-5 days in and starting to get a bit rough looking but no bald patches.
It also means no eggs from her and Belle is still dabbling at brooding so no eggs from her either haha. Had to buy some from the farmers market this morning!

I decided not to get Belle eggs this time around, if she goes again next spring I’ll let her have a go that way I will be better prepared as will she.

3 days worth of feathers I’ve picked up

I wish I was in the market for pullets, my farm lady has some beauties

She's a lovely hen. She's very dear to me. They all are, but Ivy is special.
