That is a lot of eggs !
How many chicks would you like to keep so that they become adults, ideally?
I love the bantam Australorps and I would definitely get them if I lived in the place where they come from. But Australia is so big that I suppose it doesn't say much to say they are Australian...
Hope you feel a bit better after the rest day.
I love it. It feels like a mix of vintage and contemporary vibes. It must feel very satisfying to finally see your vision for the veranda come to existence.
Hope you both make it through to calmer times.
I'm sure the chickens comment about all that human drama and how stress can make us act strange and even sometimes impact our health 😉. But wait- MJ's chooks are actually far too polite to make such comments !
She seems to be tasting it like a very fine vintage !
Any clue how much she weighs ? She looks like a big hen, but maybe it's all fluff ?
I hope you enjoyed the wedding, and that it allowed a break from the work dark hole period.
I am way behind on the puzzles with my internet issue, but this allowed me to discover yesterday that since I have been logging in do them, the last puzzle I stopped in the middle off was saved exactly where I was and like it was, even with the timing, so I finished it yesterday. It was Mary 💚...
I would wait for a few days before deciding it doesn't work and making other changes. None of the hens actually used the new configuration - they were too surprised. And older hens need more time to adjust to changes, like people, I think 🤔.
It might take her a day or two to adjust, but it looks like it will make it much easier.
My older heavier hen, Nougat, also finds the first step on the ramp (to the roost) very hard. It's worse going up when she has to leave the ramp to go on the roost. It took her about a month to just agree...
I love the result. It preserved the house's original spirit but it makes it sleeker and more contemporary.
I will look the translation for these. I have also been having recurring shoulder pain for a year. I went to see an osteopath last week but it made it really worse for a few days before...
18 months ! You'll be certainly glad to get your living room back !
But maybe you'll have to wait until the veranda is done for the party.
I've had eggs looking like Katie's from Nougat when she was younger and now from Annette. While the shells were a bit fragile I don't think it was due to...
The one Australorp I saw on social media that really made me think of Mary's eyes was located in South Africa and she was a bantam australorp. Not sure where they came from. She died last year.
(Edited to add a link to a picture of Sassy). She and RC's Bella were the two who made me think about...
I love her eyes. The only other chickens I've seen pictures of who have such dark wise eyes are also Australorps.In her case it seems they reflect her personality!
I gave up on last week's easy one, it's just too difficult to move the pieces on my phone. But I finally found yesterday how to...
Fluffy butts ! Is this in the evening? If so, they are like mine, going to bed well before it gets dark.
And do they always roost facing the walls ?
After having used them for a while, how convenient do you find your boards to clean ?
It looks like you are alone on the beach 🥰. That is a wonderful start to a busy day.
As early as I went swimming in Nice, even in the more remote beach, I think this only happened to me once or twice, when the weather was really bad !
