MJ's little flock

[fuentemoon]

I was at the shop the other day and saw something called a "shoo fly".

I'll see if I can find a website.

Could you mount one or two upside down under your patio?

Hmm, interesting idea.

It is really special when they start trusting you. Very sweet.

Wonderful.

It's going to make a big difference when inevitably they have to be handled in the future.

Edie has a copiously fluffy butt (poop catcher) and she had her first poop trim the other night. She was wondering what was going on and walked up and down the new saw horse roost, but never reached panic or anxiety.

Do you think it might work in your situation?

Tonight even Katie managed to stand quietly on my hands while being carried. A brave little hen. She's usually very flighty.

Sylvie and Legertha took to riding on my arm like it was no big deal. I sometimes thought they even liked it.

It's the feet in that photo that get me every time!

The neighbour is visiting this evening. He's going to help me remove Katie's latest blood sample leg bandage.

The weather is wild at present. All the hens are huddling in the dry and less windy spaces.

I actually found a cheap (i assume knock off) version at my grocery store the other day! Seems to have potential, looking forward to some experiments.

Hope it works for you!

I may get a couple for the roost. I'm sure they'd work on mosquitoes too.

Katie had her leg bandage removed last night. It's one of those tasks which is challenging for one person, a breeze for two. I supported one foot and kept my other hand over her wings just in case. The neighbour gently removed the dressing from the leg that wasn't supported. Easy breezy.

Glad it went so well.
