Ribh's D'Coopage

[Aussie-Chookmum]

She could be a PITA. She denuded nearly everyone's rumps but she was pretty & ditzy & I loved her.

Well, she looked as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. She had me fooled.

Deana is always the first to roost and always uses a perch.
Tonight I found her sitting in the nesting box. She hasn't laid an egg since October last year.
I just checked on her. She is still in the nesting box. Her crop feels only half full.
I will give her some coconut oil and massage tomorrow and see if I can feel an egg.

I'm a bit concerned at this change in behaviour.

Yes please! I'm madly interested.

Easy~peasy. I read there so I knew which thread & the new kitchen wasn't a long way back. Nicer for you than having to wait on time zones & the day behind catching up.

Thank you Ribh. It is all supposed to be done in the first week of August but lock down may have an effect on that. We shall see...

I am currently filling boxes with kitchen stuff that we don't use regularly. We have so much hot sauce!!!!

Good evening folks

Beautiful flock! With lots of space to roam.

Yes they jump the fence and go for a run through the paddock haha

Good evening everyone

Well, BRs are winter layers & most of my flock have finished moulting. I have about 8 POLs & everyone else is getting ready to lay again. Remember, I'm a lot further north than you are. Our days are already lengthening

I had to think hard for a minute there. Our directions are the opposite. I knew that but my brain has not had enough coffee to process that quickly this morning.

Thank you Jehane! The only thing we didn't do ourselves was the countertops. Hubs is pretty talented!

He surely is!

It's good that you caught it. Bear in mind that sometimes Hattie just sleeps on the floor and it doesn't mean anything. I would give her the once over to be certain though. Keep us posted.

Oh same here - I had to turn my head upside down to make sure I got it!
Love Trish and Dolly. We don't often see pictures of them.
