MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Now I know they can get down I am going to stop watching them go up, but I do need to check where they end up to stop them pooping in food and water (which is mostly hanging from rafters just below where they choose to roost!).
If they decide they will always roost in the rafters I will move the food and water hanging chains to the sides - they can really only roost in the middles because the slope of the roof makes it too tight for them at the sides.

This is precisely what I did when Janet stayed on the rafter. The food and water stay clean and the hens caught only tiny bits of poop before moving to a spot that wasn't Janet's toilet!

She certainly makes it look easy. She is going up over 10’ (3 meters).

They will, and it'll be bang on chicken-schedule!

Come to think of it, maybe it's chickens scheduling @Shadrach
's bus route.

Anyhoo, someone has a new old art deco teaset and that's all it took for me to revive the weekend breakfast photo. Also, one of my ongoing projects is the emptying and reorganisation of the cellar. There was lots of wonderful stuff down there, including Nana's dinner set and a set of six lovely teacups with saucers and breadplates, with a matching sandwich tray, in a gorgeous gumnut pattern.

So here's everything set for breakfast. Unfortunately the black cockatoo tablecloth doesn't show any of it advantage but you get the gist.

The plate's from Nana's set, which is in The Old Mill pattern by Johnson Bros, from the 50s I believe.

Wow! She is really good!

Sorry just over 10’ (not 20’ which was a typo). The 3 meters is correct.

Gah! Typos It was a bit of a head-scratcher for a split second

Hattie no longer even tries to fly. Heck she isn't crazy about walking!

It’s still a long way up from a standing start!
