Ribh's D'Coopage

I was going to wait until I caught up to post, but I'm incapable of doing that. They are growing so fast & so lovely!
I'm so glad that Wrold is finally back to normal...I hope she is thriving now!

Our view from the waterfront. The lads have worn a track through the mangroves.

I am retiring in 369 days and counting. It will be a busy year but I am excited!

You will love it...I'm excited for you!

The Big Girls are managing everyone on the top roost these days.

They look nice & cozy!

Oh, gosh, Bob...where to start....



They are really tiny aren't they. And even smaller when they first arrived. They are feisty though.




The phone cord was hanging down. That's what was fascinating her, not me. Unfortunately.



Having lost one was not a great confidence booster. I think I would still go POL in preference. These littles are just so...tiny... On the other hand, having done it once I wouldn't completely rule it out, which is a good thing as the man wants me to replace the Vorwerk & that will mean @ least 2 birds. I won't do singles.

Do you know what kind you want to get...more Vorwerks?

The man wants Vorwerks. I like them but prefer Campines, Aracaunas or even the Belgians & Japanese.

I was going to ask about the Campines...I hope some come available for you...I know how much you love them. Maybe you could get one Vorwerk & one of a breed that you prefer! My husband doesn't have a say... JK, if he had a particular chicken he wanted I would get it for him!

My beautiful B&W frizzles, Portia & Olivia.

No~one wants to roost @ night. They all form a cuddle puddle on the floor still, but during the day when everyone spends a lot of time in the coop I find them all practising like this.

These 2 are quite good friends.

Does anyone know what the heck this is?View attachment 2469324

Definitely a long-haired Coo Chicken. ☺

I don't seem able to catch a break @ present. Partly I know its because I run a slightly larger flock than most so the chances of things going wrong are a little higher but this is getting ridiculous!

I've never seen anything like this before.
There was a broken thin shelled egg with it so I'm guessing the brownish stuff was discoloured yolk. It had that sort of consistency. I also suspect it is Patricia. It was under where she roosts & the hens on either side of her last night I know are laying & pooping normally. I'm really hoping this isn't another flock drama.

I have started the worming treatment. I managed Soda & Patricia before the rain moved in again so this may take a few days to complete.

What do you all think?

You are having a rough time Ribh.

I

I have no idea, sorry. It looks like poop to me.

I have no idea what it is either but I hope it's just a bit of a wobbly tummy and clears up for you quick smart.
