MJ's little flock

[Ribh]

OMG I think I have TWO BROODIES!!

Welcome to my world! I presently have 6...

Wow. That sounds like quite an undertaking!
If it were my cats I would worry about the pups.

Yeah, my 2, who knew nothing of dogs & were terrified of everything when they moved in here, but now the dogs are terrified of them & don't dare cross them.

That is how it should be.

Has anyone here seen MaryJanet? I'm starting to worry about her. Covid can rebound harder just after people think they're getting better. And does she have any backup for looking after her chooks if she's incapacitated? Any news from anyone would be gratefully received.

I hope MJ "hears" you and pops on to give us some news !
I remember that her neighbours take care of her hens when she has to get away, so they would be able to help. But I sincerely hope she has just been too busy after the holidays to log on to BYC.

I do have chook and cat backup to call upon when needed. My neighbours are very reliable people and we provide backup for each other.

The veranda demolition took way too long. Mainly because the demolition guy wasn't up to the challenge of working in the space created by the scaffolding. There are so few people willing to work on old houses, the engineer and architect had to change the plans around his capabilities

But it's ready for the pour now.

Happy New Year everyone

Hello! Happy new year to you (sorry I missed your post). It's nice to see your name in the notifications, how are you?

I’m back to one broody and one non-broody. Snowy was chucking leaf-litter on her back this morning!

It's nice to see you back ! Hope you are fine apart from all the stress and annoyance of the house project .

It was a bit the same here when we were having builders come over for quotes to redo the old barn's roof. Most were so scared of the demolition part and of everything tumbling down, that they either plainly refused, or showed up with quotes so high they knew we would refuse. We were lucky that a friend of my partner's dad agreed to do it.

I previously had no idea demolition was such careful work. I had wrongly assumed it was all smash and crash and jump out the way.
