I love that photo! She looks ready to explore the whole wide world.

She's considering her fence hopping options. She has more choices from up there.

Hence exploring the whole world. Smart little girl. It will be sad day when they are enclosed. Now that Ned and Vicki with the hickey are contained. Yours are back to being the only escapees left.

A sad day for whom? I'm looking forward to not fretting every time I open that gate.

Apropos of nothing, I thought I'd share one of my favourite chickeny videos from the interwebs.

Little people & their animals make for the sweetest videos...

I thought she was broody. Wow! What would she be like defending a clutch?

I don't know...but I think anything would think twice before messin with any of her babies...

Sometimes you just have to let it go and just follow a trail back when something confuses you.

What's really interesting is when I'm responding to posts & I feel like there are just getting to be more pages...then I realize it's because I've responded to so many...

I went out after the storm had passed to check all my girls were roosting. Wrold wasn't.

I went & grabbed her & put her up on a roost & suddenly noticed she has denuded herself of all her underneath feathers. As I peered closer I noticed a white blob under her wattle...
Another tick! I couldn't leave her like that overnight so in she came & didn't she make a kerfuffle! She really doesn't like the cats! Squwark! Squwark! She was loud. She was noisy. She was voluble. Her head kept swinging round to keep Kirby in sight while she screamed @ him, @ me, @ the complete indignity of the whole affair ~ all while I was trying to slather her with black ointment & hold onto her long enough for it to work.

And the worst of it ~ not 1 but 2 ticks embedded under her wattle: a paralysis tick & a bush tick. I always check to make sure I've got the head so when I could still see something I wielded my tweezers yet again ~ & again.
She is slathered in black ointment just in case I missed any bits & back on a roost! So offended she scrambled onto the top roost! Gosh how I hate ticks!​

Spoiler: ticks...!!!

I love how Ha'penny gives Lavender the evil eye when she pushes Ha'penny aside in her rush to get out & Soda gives Morrigu the bum's rush too.
