Eula is a gorgeous looking hen; if a bit fierce looking in the picture.

Both chicks are that incredibly scruffy looking stage and looking at them makes me laugh.

I love that stage, and it makes me laugh too.

You read her right. She's Head Hen Donna's muscle, as far as I can tell.

It seems unlikely when I type it, but it happens over and over: it seems like Donna will shoot a bird a certain look, and then Eula stomps over and pecks the bird on Donna's behalf.

Everybody is sick of courgettes even the rats!

Hahaha.

Marrows are what zucchini turns into, the monstrous marrows you find when you've skipped checking for a day or two! I had one that was as big as the bottom of my wheelbarrow last season
I grate and dehydrate zucchini and use it as a vegetable bulker in soups and sauces and meat mixes all year old. Makes a fairly decent breadcrumb substitute.

Zucchini makes a good loaf of bread, it's like banana bread.

I have the recipe if you would like to have it.

The rooster on the left is Gorgeous!

I fed my past-prime yellow squash to the flock. They did the same thing, ate the seeds and inside flesh, left the rind.

When I give my hens watermelon on the rind they always leave the rind.

Ex Batts good afternoon one and all!

The chickens look great especially the chicks.

Temperature is in the 80s.

Have a great day!

Yes, I'd like a good recipe for zucchini bread if you have one.

Filling (mix it in a bowl)

sounds delish.

1 piece (toe?) of garlic

a segment is a clove of garlic, while the whole bulb is called a head, in English

The chicks here are 4 weeks old today, and still with Janeka though only Betws stays close to her all the time now. No obvious colouring of combs or popping of wattles so jury's still out on genders, but Skomer is noticeably bigger than the other two, and still barely feathered.
