I can't keep up there.

I really should give up on it and just pop in from time to time like Kris does.

I have been so taken with your lovely birds I started putting out feelers for some here.
I have finally found a breeder a couple of hours away.
Birds will be expensive but I was expecting that ~ & he won't have any till Spring anyway, if then.
What he did say, which makes your hatch super impressive, is that they can be difficult to breed.​

Yep. It's what I've been doing. I've had to. I am just too busy most days & I have other threads I want to read too. It's a shame but practacalities...

I was given a bunch of flower pots at the end of last year and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them. I decided to try container gardening.

I have cucumber and cantaloupe in the far pot. Then a full size tomato, eggplant, grape tomatoes in the next one, then cabbage and cauliflower in the last one. My mum from last year has returner too.

Here's the flowes for the front door.

Here's my view from my chair. This is where Rich and I spend a lot of our evenings and where a lot of chicken pictures are taken from.

She started out by hopping up on my knee.​

She then moved up to my shoulder.

And there she stayed while everyone meandered up to bed until she was forcefully removed.

I see from the second photo she's still trying to persuade you to keep still all night long

Do her feathers tickle much?

She would be absolutely delighted!

Do her feathers tickle much?

Strangely enough, no. She is very, very soft but her feathers seem to curl away from me so no tickling. Actually, I don't think frizzles like being stroked ~ which I'm assuming is something to do with their feathering. The Japs rather like to be stroked, as do the Vorwerks & even Gloriana but Lavender hated it & none of my present frizzles like it either. Olivia's presence is always on her terms. She doesn't like for me to pick her up & cuddle her @ all ~ but then I don't need to, do I?
