Ribh's D'Coopage

The girls started early this morning with what I call their *whingey* voices.
Luna & Ha'penny were particularly... vocal.
Mhari was bok~bokking pathetically in the little coop.

Given our weather I let everyone into the run early.
The only one who didn't stay there was Ha'penny.
She was so noisy I went out to see what was going on to find her screaming about the shut gate [to keep Mhari away from the nesting boxes] so I let her in & left her screaming blue murder about everyone else being in the run. :confused:We got about 10 minutes peace when she finally went to lay her egg then she was back @ it & most of the flock joined in. The neighbours must have loved it ~ but then they always have yappy dogs & my girls are usually fairly quiet.

Even dinner was a noisy affair.

There are 4 feeding stations & you would think that would be enough for everybody but once Wrold & Morrigu have actually climbed into a tub there's no room for anybody else!
Ha'penny has taken to trying to scratch the crumble out of my hand ~ which is terribly funny to watch because my hand is quite high & her foot is waggling round in thin air.:lau

They are still at it. I don't know what's stuck in their craw today but they are complaining about it. A lot!​
I love when they complain to me. It's like they are including me in their world. 🥰
I do talk back to them as well. If I have to hear about their problems, they can hear about mine. 😉
 
Me too, Ladies. I have carpal tunnel and I had to quit playing the guitar. After about 15 minutes both my hands would hurt and be completely numb!
It bothers me when I am driving too.
Still, I would like to try knitting, and crocheting I think.
I get that. I've had both wrists done in the past and I'm about to get my left done again. It's making doing woodwork difficult so it's a bit of a priority.
 
Left to right. Unnamed cockerel. He was supposed to be dinner but I just haven't had the heart for it. He's no trouble. Seems to get on with Punch and Mag. The hens don't seem to mind him too much and I'm not that hungry. I suppose I'll have to name him.
Next Pinch. Very pleased with how she's feathred out after her moult. Almost all the signs of her last hawk attack injuries have gone. She's got a small bare patch under her wing where the hawks talon sank in but it healed well and it's just a small patch.
That's Punch next with his back to you. Punch is just Punch. One learns to live with him. He's not bad at anything, but he's not good at anything apart from looking good either.
Braking Bracket next with her head in the dish. She's moulting and pissy with it. It's not even a bad moult.
Last is Mag. He still hasn't grown out his tail feathers and he's been fairly aggressive to the hens and Notch. He still makes an exception for Lock.

This is Nolia. She is the most senior hen in Tribe 2. One wouldn't know it. She's very mellow in general. Of course, she's the sister of Mag.

I sometimes try making chicken noises with them. They seem to listen but I've very little idea what I'm saying :confused::gig
