MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Life in the urban forest.

And a toe count opportunity.

They have taken to the branch easily.

I helped a little. But once Lorna was up, she was 100% sure of it. The other two copied her

Lorna makes good use of her fifth toe. She's the first one scratching this morning.

For me, there is something about juvenile chickens that makes them look prehistoric. They look much more like game fowl around this age maybe.

I've just ordered a copy.

Hope you enjoy it.

They're quite lean with disproportionately large feet, quick and agile.

I'm allowed to pat Edie! No photos yet, but I'll try for one.

The neighbour's daughter was home and she gave me three eggs for Mary

I marked them so I could tell them apart.

I've got my hopes riding on number two. From the colour of the shell, I think their silver Sussex laid it and I have an idea Rocky is too big to successfully mate their two little red hens.

Mary tried not to show how happy she was

Meanwhile, the youngsters had not got the hang of their dust bath, so I tipped it out in the hope they'll give it a try.
