Ribh's D'Coopage

We had a storm blow in yesterday and DW got pics of the clouds...

Beautiful clouds Bob! I love storm clouds, they are so dramatic!
@Aussie-Chookmum: any chance of pictures of this arm knitting? I admit a morbid fascination! :D

Well, I haven't finished unraveling the old cowl yet and the youngest is currently making a costume or 4 for themselves and their friends to wear to Smash! ( an anime and manga convention held once a year in Sydney), but once they start on the arm knitting project I'll post pictures... if you can wait a few weeks....:hmm
 
Getting them to play nice can be a lot of fun :barnie
Fun? Fun?!:rant

At least Tsuki only does a few pecks then leaves them alone...
Any suggestions on getting them to play nice would be greatly appreciated!
I really want them all up on a perch, it doen't even have to be the same one! Am I asking too much? :tongue
 
I'm thinking of taking the photo of all your chooks on their perches to show them Ribh. "Look! See? This is how it's done!"

lol But it was fun & games [as Bob says] to get them there!:gigOnce they've sorted out the pecking order to everyone's satisfaction it will be better. Time is a great leveler. :)
 
Well Namaste is back in the big coop being feisty & bossy, eating well & generally being chookish. Now it is her sister! *sigh* I have had more trouble & fewer eggs from the Australorps than anyone else when they are supposed to be hardy & great layers. :( Yesterday I gave Nugget the once over. To the best of my ability [which isn't saying much as no~one round here gets overly concerned about chooks so I've never seen a lot of the stuff I read about done & I'm a visual learner] I checked for lice, mites, worms [though she was wormed beginning of Autumn along with everyone else] & egg binding. Her crop seems fine.:barnieHowever every feather she owns seems about ready to fall out all @ once. She seemed to have a small molt earlier but this is serious. I can see the shaft peeling away on the old feathers & lots of pin feathers poking through so I'm hopeful that's all that's making her lethargic. It is worrying though. I feel like a bad chicken keeper.
