MJ's little flock

[ManueB]

What a lovely idea.
I am going to call around this afternoon to see if anyone wants to come harvest a bucketful.

Chickens enjoying peaches (not great photos as I am up the hill and outside the fence).

My neighbour gave us some home made peach jam from her peach tree when her goat ate most of our teenage forsythia.
I never had some before and I immediately forgave her and the goat. It's really one of those jam where home made makes a world of difference with what you can buy.
I’m not a jam person, I think it’s too sweet, but I still loved this !

It's a very small kindness.

How wonderful. Next time you should video it!

Ha! Maybe.

For all you Hattie fans, she gave me quite a scare recently.

Oh Bob!

What a huge worry you've been through!

I'm so glad it's arthritis and not something worse

I've been given a huge gift of eggs today!

Yuh huh, that's right.

FOUR EGGS!!

The youngsters want to use the ramp but are not confident enough yet.

Everyone who knows Phyllis will be interested to know she has a photo shoot with a professional photographer today. Of course she rocked it!

I've seen pictures you've taken that I much prefer.

Thank you
What do you think about having one hen in with two cockerels for now? They still seem to be getting on alright, and aren't over mating her at all as far as I can see.

I'm thinking about trying to hatch some of her eggs that I still have, but they might be a bit on the old side so I don't know how it will turn out. I just don't have the heart to eat them.

It's one of those it depends questions. I've seen it done. I don't know how long the arrangement lasted. From my own experience I would say not. 1:1 can work, even in confinement with the right birds. Bantams seem to be able to sort this out better than full sized birds in my experience.
