Day 88 #365project

The #Rookery

Every spring the crows gather in this tree to nest and I wander by to drop peanuts for them so they don't have to work as hard.

We're back online, yay!

To celebrate, here's a 🐔 chicken update 🐔

We got our new hens yesterday! 🙌 We've added two #Amrock hens (the black-and-white ones), and two #BielefelderKennhuhn hens (#crele coloured with reddish heads). We've named them Frika, Billa, Rumi, and Bärbel. 🤭
In the second photo, Henna is eyeing them curiously. They should grow to roughly the same size as our #Faverolles (or Deutsches #Lachshuhn, as Henna and Cleo's breed is known in Germany)

Wish me luck introducing them to the rest next week!

- Egg-laying Jette pecking the others, asserting her dominance
- Old Henna and Cleo the Runt too weak and scared
- Separating Jette to let the others heal

🐔 It's been a while, so here's another #chicken update!

TL;DR
- Rehomed Jette to a bigger group down the street
- Cleo and Henna were both laying eggs, yay!
- Cleo finally grew up and started to attack Henna
- When we couldn't separate them last weekend, Cleo won the pecking war, and Henna ended up with a bloody comb. Neither of them has laid since, due to the stress.
- PLOT TWIST: We will add four new #hens on Saturday! Hopefully, this will ease the tension for the hens.

👉 More detailed ramblings in the comments.


Photos:
1. My darling Henna last Sunday. The black stuff on her comb is dried blood. I captured her mid-drink, that's why her neck is a bit wet.
2. Jette making first contact in her new group.

A #whiteStork for #WildlifeWednesday

They're back! I spotted my first #stork of the season in the nest closest to us on Monday. 🥹 This photo is from last year, taken just before they migrated. The stork is perched on a nesting aid, though this particular family prefers their organic nest in a tree. Meanwhile, the other pair in #Biederitz has made a chimney in the heart of the village their home.

Disco #swans for #Birbsday 🪩

This is from 2008, when I visited a friend from uni in Strasbourg. The Sony Ericsson T650i strikes again! 😂
