MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

Ok. I'll hold out until time's up.

How long has it been?

 

[MaryJanet]

How long has it been?

A week and a half.

At least the refugees are living in something that affords a few chickeny behaviours now.

They'll just have to wait for their turn in the pullets' room which is bigger and even more chickeny.

One last update before turning my attention to my day's work, I saw one refugee take a sip of water and from some spillage, it was clear they'd been at the pellets too. Now they've got straw and hay, I'm sure they'll take on plenty of roughage too.

I've removed everything from the laundry that might've been toxic or dangerous for them. So I feel like I've done all I can for now.

She didn't know about the pullets.

These hens have been displaced from their home by rising flood water. They belonged to Aunty's close friends.

I would never have chosen Rhode Island Reds.

Goodness. What a lot you have going on!
Just a reminder that the lovely Maggie was a RIR so don’t write them off because of their breed

 

[RoyalChick]

I can do this. I can make it work.

Somehow.

I have a lot of confidence in you. I must admit I don’t think I could cope!

They will be fine. How long are you planning to quarantine?

You are doing great.

Yes you could. 1 step at a time. Your are very capable of handling a situation like this.

 

[MaryJanet]

Mmm the refugees will be fine unless the weather warms up in which case, they really won't be ok.

Three weeks in total.

A week and a half to go.

My urgency is moving the refugees into the pullets' room.

I get it. Really I do. You need a week and a half of cool weather then. What is the forecast like?
