MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Princess Pigletine also came to say hello. She has started laying. She lays tiny blue eggs.
I don’t know why her tail looks so tatty.

She would be too perfect if her tail weren't a little tatty. She's trying to make the rest feel ok about our appearances.

Mm. So I might've put half a bag of free range grains in the scary treadle feeder, thinking folks would overcome their fear and start eating from it.

Trust a marauder to keep her beak in no matter what !

Not if she feeds them red cabbage it won’t.
Just trust me on this one. Colours not known in nature.
@BY Bob tried to warn me, but nothing he said fully prepared me for the neon green.

It was the most frightening site. Lime green poo. What is wrong with everyone? Nothing they just ate red cabbage.

I have been away for just over a week and I thought the Princesses would have forgotten me.
They aren’t cuddly at the best of times so I thought the sight of me would create mass panic.
But no, they seemed pleased to see me.
Tassels is now a very large lady (no laying yet).
I really must get some weights. She looks like she might be as big as Bernie though not as leggy.
Tassels says hi.

I need weights on mine as well. I think I'm going to wait for molting to end and then weigh everyone before the winter sets in to see how prepared they are

That face!

There is just something about a bearded face.

That's a good plan.

I agree! There's extra charm.

Here's a photo of Mary showing her recently injured eye.

It's not the same as it always was, but it's healed.

And here she is checking her pocket for snacks. One never knows what one might find...

The dawn sun hit her feathers at just the right angle for their green iridescence to flare up.
