Lovely Leonard.

Happy Caturday!

 

[Ribh]

Given you've not written different I assume Leonard has settled in with your bunch of nutters and dusters rather well. I'm seriously pleased if it is the case. I'm faced with the possibility of introducing a new male to the field hens now Henry is dead.
I've not had to do this in confined conditions before and I'm quite anxious about the prospect.

Leonard has settled beautifully. The girls have accepted him & he is not people adverse. He's fantastic with me & has never even looked like he might become aggressive. I am stoked having read all the rooster horror stories. I have been blessed to have had easy integrations after my first one. Sweetpea is still paralysed. I'm crating her @ night but allowing her out with everyone during the day. This is allowing me to medicate her & ensuring she has access to food & water while, hopefully, ensuring she doesn't have to reintegrate into the tribe.

I am so sorry you have lost Henry. He was a fantastic rooster & I know you were fond of him.

Nice to hear this. A particular male? From a friend you have visited lately?

It’s always hard to lose our feathered friends.

He is such a lovely puss!

He is that. Still wants to play with my feet though. And he bites.

Our temperatures have been down below zero. The bird bath has iced over some mornings. It is WINTER! And this mad girl has decided to sit! Cobweb has only just come on the lay & it's definitely not warm around here. I certainly end up with the nutters.
