MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

It's nice to hear from you. I can only imagine how this has changed your life. I have no words of wisdom to offer as I have been fortunate and have not yet had to deal with such loss.

I can offer pictures of chickens to perhaps make you smile.

Nice to see Hattie relaxing.

Nice to see Hattie relaxing.

It is mostly what she does these days. I am thinking up ways to improve her life as it is clearly painful for her to walk.

Poor old girl.

Poor old girl.

She came out of the coop today into the yard when I let them out. That was very nice to see. I think she is over in Hattie House right now. She was there all morning.

She is being attacked when she comes out as well. Lady Featherington is all up in her business and mounted her, pressing her flat to the ground and attacking her comb in front of me a while back. She moves to a corner where she can hide her head when Lady F is around. It's very sad.

Chickens are not kind.

No they are not.

Heartbreaking.

Can they live in different spaces Bob?

Looks like Hattie may have made that decision herself. I have to figure out how to help her manage sleeping on her own.

Hello byc friends. It's been a while since you've seen the chicks.

They appear to be thriving.

It's been quite a long road since my brother died and there is still a lot of bereavement and admin ahead. Practical tasks too. But I'll get through it all eventually. There's no rush.

I'm doing ok but not great. It was a huge shock. I've slowly come to realise I've been transformed by it all and I'll no longer be the same person I was. My priorities have shifted.

I'm so grateful to all of you for your kind messages of support and wisdom. It's remarkable that so much solace can be received from people never met in person.

I'll try to take up my former byc habits again. I'm very far behind on what's going on with your flocks and I'm looking forward to catching up on the chicken news.

So sorry to hear your sad news. I hope everything resolves quickly & smoothly for you. Much virtual love.

Thank you. The red tape will take a good long while to resolve.
