There was so much racket going on I went to check. Yep. She's at it again.

You are right. All your hens are nutters.

When I first moved here the neighbours kept asking me if I had a rooster. I thought it a little weird as I'd never heard a rooster. Turns out it was one of their banty hens crowing! I probably didn't register as a crowing hen never sounds as full bodied as a rooster ~ but I've never understood people's aversion to a crower. It's no more annoying than cars or trucks or planes & imo far less aggravating than a lawn mower or someone else's choice of music.

I don't understand why people object to the sound of a rooster crowing either. There are far worse sounds.

Steps to wash the Cat.
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add correct amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and lift both lids.
3. Soothe the cat while carrying it towards the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids.
5. CAUTION: Stand back. Avoid claws.
6. Flush the toilet three or four times to “power wash and rinse.”
7. Open the outside door.
8. Ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
9. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
10. The clean cat will rocket from the toilet, and through the outside door.

Very possibly, Bob. She's the bantam who made a hidden nest as soon as she started laying. She's a smart broody but there's something about those crab pots & bantams. Olivia keeps getting in them too.

Not a lot can get at them in there, plus there is good grip for their feet and the eggs won't roll around. Good spot imo. The only downside I can see is keeping the eggs warm due to the underside being exposed to air current.

It's the dogs that drive me nuts. Everyone seems to own one & when 1 sets the others barking... One or 2 are constant barkers. Enough that a noise complaint went in to council ~ which I only know about because it was served on my neighbour & their dog is not the culprit! She checked if he barked a lot when they weren't there but he rarely barks ~ & usually only to alert me to trouble in the tribe.

How unkind!

I hate to say this but a hawk could still get them. I know on the island people would hang their budgie cages on the verandah until they realised the hawks were attacking & killing their birds through the cage wire.

I'm very glad you stood up for the "good" dog. That is what good neighbors should do.
