🐔 Chicken update! 🐔

I removed the mobile fence yesterday afternoon, and so far, everything is going as expected. The older hens are chasing the chickies, but since the young ones are so fast and agile, there haven't been any seriously dangerous situations. In the end, I decided to introduce Cleo to the mix straight away. While she did chase and peck at Henna too, it wasn't as persistent as before. I even caught them sitting and relaxing close together – something that hasn't happened in ages! I will still keep her separated at night though.

One of the #Amrock hens has already decided that the coop and henhouse are her safe haven. She's the only one who often goes in there (I don't think the others are even aware of the door yet), while the others stick to "their" side of the run. Earlier, I was frantically searching for her and worried she might have escaped over the fence, until I spotted her sitting under the ladder, buried in the sand like a flatfish – well out of reach from the despots. Clever girl!

Did you know you can buy swings for your chickens?

I feel this is an important thing to know.

Am Samstag durften wir mit #planbe_huehnerrettung über 900 #legehennen aus #bodenhaltung retten.
Wer einmal das Leid dieser Tiere gesehen hat, weiß warum der Verzicht auf tierische Lebensmittel richtig ist!
Sag nein zum Ei, lebe vegan!

A little time line cleanse. Back in 2021, with our first flick of chickens, my son discovered that Bob the Super Hen would follow circles with similar head motions when he spun things around.

Transplanted the struggling tiny banana tree to a better spot, and it is bouncing back already.

Finished the temporary home for the new chickens with shade cloth to have both shade for them and to keep them in.

Transferred some guppies from the aquarium to the mini pond/waterhole for mosquito control.

Now we just need to arrange some comfy spots under the big apricot tree to doze in easy reach of the fruit, okay, just kidding, no rest for the wicked.

I don’t know whether to cry or cry.

Workers from overseas say they feel betrayed by the ‘shifting goalposts’ pushing them out

The i Paper
There’s no such thing as “humane slaughter,” but imagine being viewed in such a low regard, that you don’t even qualify for it? 😱 Chickens are sentient beings who have feelings too. 🐔 Featuring the late Patsy, Freddie and Harold from catskill_animal_sanctuary (IG) 💚 #chicken #chickens #birdlover
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!
