Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

Mine have gone the opposite way and started taking advantage of the gale force winds to come out and scratch up all my very plot-proud neighbours' onion sets, while there's no humans around to chase them away

Yesterday I spent ages looking for the open thing of water Nora must've fallen in, before realising she'd apparently just been sitting out in the rain like a duck again.

Fancy sending a couple down here to show the field lot they need to toughen up?

You need a Nora! I didn't think to get a photo yesterday but she looked a lot like the negative of this, only less furious about it.

Maybe I could set up some kind of combined holiday boarding & bootcamp for soft, southern chickens

I had a medical appointment a couple of days ago. They took my blood pressure, pulse, etc.
My blood pressure read 106 over 63 with a pulse of 53 beats per minute.
The nurse asked me how I kept it that low, yaga, Tai Chi, and the other usual suspects were suggested. "Nope" I said, "don't do any of those anymore. I watch chickens instead."

I don't think the nurse took me seriously.

I have a couple of prescriptions I need to collect monthly and every time I do, I get pestered about when I might be hatching chicks next. One of the pharmacists gave me a couple of small oral syringes for free when I needed one for a chick and now they want me to bring one in at some point as real life chicken tax!

Here's Nora on a drier day recently for thread tax. She really doesn't like being photographed.

Outward Bound for chickens!!
