Good evening folks

Yesterday I found one of the neighbours kids trying to make friends with Portia through the fence. She couldn't have chosen a more difficult hen to befriend if she tried but Portia is gorgeous & the kid was besotted. She has 2 little white bantams, a Langshan & a Pekin, but had never seen a frizzled before.

I rounded up Olivia for her instead. Olivia is docile & friendly & doesn't mind being handled. She couldn't believe how soft the feathering is! She asked about all the different breeds because she thinks my tribe is incredibly pretty. So do I! I gave her an Aracauna egg because blue eggs are always a novelty & a great talking point.

Scabbing over nicely, no redness or swelling. Looking good.

Excellent news!

Even better. I suspect additional conversations to come.

Actually I think they want company. They *talk* to me ~ but we have a huge mozzie infestation @ present & outside is not nice. I'm waving a mozzie coil inside the coop before the girls go to roost, they're just so bad.

I know this was a years old thread, but what is a "mozzie"? Thanks!

A mosquito. There are many more Aussie words and phrases that you will learn if you read this thread. They are very proud of them and rightfully so.

You will come across some really strange ones - if I am remembering right there was a long discussion about what Tinny is.
