Ha'penny nesting.

Is that one of your Barred Rocks shouting in the background?

Yep. She was having a right old whinge. Lavender started up after this & she's a screamer. The favorelles get whingey loud.

Oh you just gave me the argument I need to get more chickens. I don’t have an even number! I will get right on that.

I am so glad to help!

Enabler!

I see that it's so cold you don't even have to wear socks!

I drove 8 hours in the m this yesterday for work.

I definately had socks on. I hate wearing socks.

Every time I see this I shudder. Snow does nothing for me...

I’m starting to think that I might have to get THREE Faverolles... y’know, just to even out the chicken maths... Poor Charlie was sitting around by herself a fair bit today, I wonder if she gets lonely.

Overnight storms saw 131.8 mm of rain here! We are all really excited.

Well, the girls aren't. Most of them are still in bed.
The cloud means it is still quite dark out & very, very wet!​

Start telling them they are swamp chickens... they will adapt!

I think it's odd too MJ. Some people don't like trees in their view it seems but if you wait eventually you look under the canopy. The next door lot on one side are incredibly weird. They throw money around but the end result just looks like an expensive mess & they seem to be jealous of stuff we do. They keep mentioning they want an elkhorn like mine ~ which took 30 years to grow!! They're not prepared to wait 30 years. They goggled when the sandstone went in but we are ex~Sydneysiders. Sandstone's in our blood. They got ducks because we had chickens & they wanted eggs. They got muscovies which are a meat bird & then complained when the duck molted & stopped laying. They talked about getting bees when we got our hive...took out all their bush then complained they had no birds visiting. I tried. I really did but some people just can't learn it seems.

Keeping up with the jones’? (insert appropriate surname here) Poorly too, because we don’t pay attention to the environment we live in very well.

Yeah. Something about those bags. She got right in the nearly empty one on the ground beside it but the mulch in that is wet. I didn't grab the camera fast enough. She didn't seem stressed by my filming but she hasn't laid there so I don't know if I need to look for another nest.

“I don't know if I need to look for another nest.”

“Tee hee... look, my odd, large, wingless, nest robbing ‘rooster’, here is my nest... isn’t it wonderful? Look at all the eggs that aren’t here! (You will never find them... mwa-ha-ha-haaaaa!)”

It's probably one of the few dry spots left today. She's such a little cutie!

She is very cute but I am afraid @Kris5902 is right; I am never going to find where those eggs are getting hidden.

You've been listening to the chickens here!
