MJ's little flock

It was -1.1 at 6am! I'm practically offended.

@BY Bob and @RoyalChick I think your advice to get a magnetic sweeper was among the best chickening advice I've ever had. Up there with Shadrach telling everyone to work with chickens at night with a head lamp and how to pick them up from below.

I won't continue sharing photos of the finds because I imagine one pile of rusty metal is enough for anyone's viewing pleasure which means I've already overshared 🤣

But I plan to continue using it daily until the back and front yards are cleared.

That said, if I find anything of interest, I'll probably pipe up again! I'm vaguely hoping mum's engagement ring might turn up, but I've always put her "I lost it in the garden" story down as a cover up for having hocked it.

What are you concerned about finding? Iron, zinc? Neither of those are poisonous to humans. Why bother?

That is all the magnet has found. Is there something else you are concerned about?
Well, I'm more worried about lead actually. But I suppose that would show up if I had a blood test.
 
She's gained weight! 2.09kg today, up from 1.83kg two weeks ago. So the combo of a healthier chook and access to special breakfasts has been working!

She gave her blood sample which will be tested later to reveal her enzyme level and thus her kidney function. They're going to call later with those results.
