I also have a Silkie flock...

What a lovely mixed flock! But how do you keep your garden looking so nice with so many chickens ?

I am a bit strong-minded when it comes to protecting the chickens. I'm a sucker in other ways... choooooocolaaaaate

I have a "chocolate drawer " in my desk. My family knows not to touch it on pain of losing fingers!

What a gorgeous flock. I love blues! Never seen blue rocks before. I have 3 Barred Plymouth. My blue is an Australorp bantam, Pebbles. She has delusions of grandeur. View attachment 1841335

So beautiful Ribh. I love all the different varieties you can get with chickens

Sure is ~ especially when an ocean & 2 continents separate you. This will be a long furlough ~ 3~4 months instead of 3~4 weeks: lots of changes & a new niece by then too.

I know. It's why I have such a mixed flock... I very occasionally feel guilty because Shadrach says it's not best for the chickens & if I am honest, I would agree, but I do so love variety & such a range of different personalities & because I can, I do.

Yes indeed! What is your secret?

Yesterday the first lot of wool I ordered on~line actually arrived. This was to finish off the rug I was making my missionary daughter ~ & I had such drama with the edging I reverted to picots ~ neater, tidier ~ & I can manage them!All finished now.

Waiting on the 2nd lot of wool, which is to make a rug for another friend of YD's.

Meanwhile my chooks are suffering collective insanity & 6 out of 11 are now in defaulter's for escaping the run. Sadly it's just falling apart. It was only meant to be temporary but John did a shoulder doing the sandstone & all physical activity is now on hold & my girls are making the most of it! With more in the pen than out my good girls are feeling deprived & hard done by!View attachment 1842667

This is beautiful! Forgive me.. but by “rug” do you mean a mat for the floor or a “blanket”? Lovely no matter what.. just wondering if we call things differently... ... cuz to me it looks like a blanket folded over..
