Shad just what does a hen's escort call sound like? I've been doing it for years alas and no escort ever shows up

That's a terrible shame. Learning new stuff is imo very important in later life.

Life long learning is important. It keeps one's brain nimble.

I wish I could get my father to pick up a new hobby.

Oh. My. Goodness!!! *swoon* That is one very handsome rooster!

We have roosting issues.
Everyone wants to be up top.
Sadly there just isn't room for everyone.

They got 13 up there the other night with Wrold tucked under Lavender's wing & a fed up Soda on the 2nd bar but in the jostling to change position Suyin came down & there was nowhere for her to get back up. She was not impressed.

The young Campines don't give a toss. Up they go & scrabble about on everyone's backs until they can sink between 2 bodies. They are packed in tighter than sardines.
Meanwhile the sun went down & the far shore glowed red with the reflected sunset.

The size difference between the campines and Lavender is amazing. One good thing, They should be nice and toasty!

Yet another beautiful scenic picture from your wonderful island. Just amazing.

Of all the new girls to arrive Alpia has quickly won a place in my heart.
Not only is she pretty, she is sweet natured.

Like all my Wyandottes she is not keen on unsolicited handling but she's not adverse to seeking my company on her own terms with a little questing tilt of her head & a soft asking warble.

Her patterning is really lovely too. She's a real find in a quiet way.

And she doesn't show much fear now she knows I'm the bringer of good things.
