You’re kidding us.
What a beautiful pic and beautiful hens!
Congrats earned!

P.S. you certainly need to pay more tax in this thread by now.

Very kind of you to say.

Here is Diana for my tax payment

I think the rate is 1 roo or two hens, so you're short @RoyalChick ! We need more!

Ooops - it never does to short change the tax man!
How about Maggie (RIP) and Diana hanging out in the butterfly bush.
Sadly I lost Maggie on Monday and I am missing my chats with her. She was a great conversationalist with strong and eccentric points of view.

Be careful with sharp gravel. I understand from other chicken keepers this can cause bumble foot.

I'm not sure what sharp gravel is, but we have regular gravel (small and medium size) around the place for drainage, at the sides of impervious surfaces and by walls; it's one of the media the chickens commonly scratch through, and we've never had a case of bumblefoot. And earthborn pests and diseases live least long on it (I guess they get washed away quicker than in soil).

Good morning X Batts. Some very expressive looking birds!
