It's a great article, I remember reading it very early, first thing after becoming a chicken keeper and consequent BYC member. Glad to see it getting the spotlight!

96°F Suntime tax below. I thought it was funny because they each had a leg sticking out:

It's a full moon on the solstice, and I managed to get a decent photo of it

It was a warm and sunny afternoon too; I do believe summer has finally arrived here!

And we're half done with winter mind you, it's been a cheery one this year, apart from one sick chook.

Today in our news (from NRC behind a paywall). google translated 1 ½ paragraph;
Together with two other teams, Eyes on Animals is on their way from France to the Netherlands. It's Wednesday, March 27, and each team is keeping an eye on a truck loaded with young calves. The calves have been travelling from Ireland for two days. Their journey will end in a stable of a calf farm. On the day they will be taken to slaughter, around the turn of the year, they have never seen the sun. The wind never felt. They won't know what running is.

Eyes on Animals is a foundation that strives to reduce the suffering of livestock wherever possible. She does this by providing information to transporters, employees of slaughterhouses, chicken catchers and the highway police. And further she perceives, like today. Lesley Moffat founded Eyes on Animals in 2009 and started the foundation with volunteers.

The team says the calves are screaming the whole time.

The beef we get is pasture raised and grain finished. They roam hundreds of acres of pasture land.

An hour this morning and two and a half this afternoon. warm and dry at 21C.
There is amarked difference in behaviour between the two grey chicks and the two off white chicks. This may have something to do with the off white chicks being male probably. I think one of the grey chicks is a hen. I'm not sure about the other.
We all got onto the field for most of the afternoon.

Thanks for the congratulations.
