Hi there rj!!

Hi there WhoDat, it's great to see you out and about again

The first one is sooooooo beautiful!! I forget the breed.... but I do remember that you weren’t sure about them in the beginning... how about now?

That's one of my Vorwerks ~ & never again. I've had a lot of trouble with these chickens & nearly rehomed the lot @ one point. They've settled, so got a reprieve. I much prefer the bantams or Campines.

It's gone again now. The rain clouds are gathering.

Good evening folks

Olivia got in the house again yesterday. She was pottering around having a good old sticky~beak then decided to hop up on the couch. Hah! Unbeknown to her Marlow was snoozing there. Not sure who got the biggest shock. Marlow showed some predatory instincts & Olivia headed for the outside door in a hurry!

@Shadrach will like this; chickens in a tree!

He does like it.

I wonder about people sometimes.
I had a phone call today from my DIL offering me 4 free chooks.
The Child Care Centre has to rehome their bantams & DIL thought I might like them.
Firstly I'm pretty sure the chooks are silkies. DIL wasn't sure. I'm not a fan of silkies & I already have 3 chooks I should never have acquired.

Secondly, I don't actually have a proper coop @ present.
Thirdly, I'm already pushing the limit with the numbers I'm allowed here even if you count bantams as half a chook.
Fourthly, biosecurity, darlin', biosecurity.
Fifthly, Sikies= dumb & not predator savvy. I have a hawk. The only reason I figure he's ignoring my birds is my Campines are leery as of him.
Sixthly, Silkies =broody. Like I don't have enough wanna be mums on my hands.
I said no. Very definitely no.​
