MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

The pullets stayed in their sleepout until mid-afternoon when Aunt Peggy roused them and sent them outside to play.

They're coming gradually closer to the big hens, which is nice, and almost made friends with Mary who has been off the nest all day. Peggy rushed over to say Hiiiii to Mary after laying her egg and Mary mistook it for an attack and went running! Darling hens

The pullets said, hey, why's our climbing thingy out here? And why's it tipped over??

Then they put themselves to bed early. They'll get a surprise when it's time to roost because I reconfigured their space to discourage overnight cuddle puddles and encourage grown up roosting.

Mary also put herself to bed early. She's a dear old lady, I'm so glad she's part of life again instead of sitting on her hopeless eggs.

Who are these grown ups?

Good evening folks

It's going to be misting weather today. 33C. That's completely unacceptable for the river chickens in the stuffy laundry with nothing but a small fan. Mark said they're healthy. Also, they're adults so if they had MG symptoms, it would've been apparent when Mark looked at them.

So I've let them out into LBDT territory where they can find shade.

The first order of business was a thorough dust bath for both hens. Poor things would've been desperate.

Strangely, the four hens couldn't be more disinterested.
