MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

The hens have a new food holder. I've put half a lettuce on it and suspended it from a branch to help them realise their favourite bush is no longer out of bounds. They love it!

Ivy's new feathers are a darker gold than her old ones.

I think it looks rather nice

It amazes me how their colouring changes from moult to moult,

Hello weekend! Time to sit in the funrun with my hen friends!

A moment after I took the photo, Janet found and gobbled up a soursob bulb. And she didn't breathe a word.

I'm starting to feel sorry for people who never have the chance to keep chickens. They're endlessly fascinating, it's a brilliant hobby!

Cuddle puddle time.

Been in detention all day loooong

The hens were locked up in the safety zone ALL DAY! (I had to be at the office.)

So they're taking enormous delight in a couple hours freedom before bedtime with Janet and Mary taking a shared dust bath while Sandy works on trimming back the weeds.

I'm remembering the days before the funrun. Mary and Janet have been through a lot of changes. It's good to see Sandy.

There's an election in South Australia today and I had a malcontent behind me in the queue he was slinging off at the volunteers, calling one of them names based on physical appearance. Moaning about having to vote, wear a mask, get vaccinated... Ugh. There were about 5 of us telling him to shut up and another 20 or so backing us up. Anyway one of the election officials took him out of the line so he could go write/draw his diatribe on his ballots and leave the rest of us in peace.
