MJ's little flock

Hmmm I don't actually know, I was making an assumption.

ETA my assumption is incorrect. Chickens continue to grow after their first egg is laid.

Indeed. It's something that's caught me on the hop before.

My tired old suitcase is green.

I still tie ribbons on its handle though. Just in case.

I think I will go for the travelpro hard case. It's not excessively pricey. The reviews are either 5 or 1 star. Most of the 1 stars comment on the poor quality of after sales service.

Unfortunately the only vendor in Australia is am az on. So there's no chance of inspecting before buying. And there's no service centre in Australia.

Still a bit more reading and thinking to do before committing to a purchase. There's a brand designed and manufactured in Melbourne which would have far better after sales service in my case. But those are more expensive and the reviews are not as good.

What sort of after sales service might you need? You can return on Amazon and then you have to trust that it doesn’t fall apart with use - certainly my TravelPro has taken many years of abuse without blinking!

Blossom has one more dose of bitter pain medication to go. Still a few more doses of yummy anti-inflammatory to go.

She's very happy and cheerful. Lots of snoozies and lots of zoomies, with her customary healthy appetite and friendliness.

So glad. Zoomies a good sign she doesn’t feel bad.

Zip replacement. Wheel replacement. That sort of thing.

Yeh, I thought she's ovulating so she must be fully gown now. Very interesting that she still has more growing time.

Assuming it is anything like mine it will be decades before you need anything like that!

This afternoon the back porch security perimeter was breached.

She stayed four minutes, three of which were spent building up the courage to leave again

Haha! I’m in!!!

- ok, now what…

This could be a good video for one of @MaryJanet ‘s brilliant chicken talk translations.

I constructed a new roost and poop shelf today. Angel had taken to sitting in the corner next to the window and right over the duck walk, making a huge mess. I’m assuming it is a bit draughty in front of the window and she was moving away from the draft. So I made a smaller roost higher up and in that corner, and also a little poop shelf.

At bedtime, Angel got it straight away. She was settled down and even had her bum pointing in the right direction! Princess wasn’t sure and was looking for somewhere else to go, until I showed her it was big enough to share. Hopefully she stayed put.
