Caught up!

Not much to report except Ester dropped a shelless egg from the roost so I’m giving her calcium. Dorothy *might* be heading into molt and Flo (Australorp from 2020 chicks) started laying. All is mostly well for my flock, I think. I know many of you are taking on Shad’s word, Tribe, but since I have all girls and they’re in an enclosure most of the time, it’s more like a forced flock.

I'm using tribe @ the moment because I have one flock but 2 different groups of chickens within it. Whether they will all eventually meld is yet to be seen.

Sweet little Donk! How old is she Shad?

Look who all came running to greet me this morning!
They rounded up fairly easily as no~one likes being separated.

I have seen grey feathers around for a few days.

Alice is having a ninja moult.

I wonder if she's going to lose the lot again.

Awwww sweethearts.

They really are. It's sorta a shock though to actually be able to catch & handle these girls so easily. I'm used to skittish Campines & all my Big Girls, while friendly, are more stand~offish.

Good evening everyone

I agree with DH ❤




I started therapy on Tuesday, and they gave me some beginning exercises to loosen my stiff wrist. All is going well for now and as long as my knee doesn't give out anymore.

I worry about that knee of yours.

I'm so happy for you!! It must feel really special.

Sweet little Donk! How old is she Shad?

Not sure. I'll get back to you.

 

[MaryJanet]

Not sure. I'll get back to you.

I'm guessing 5+

Hurry.
