MJ's little flock

[LozzyR]

I would have loved to keep him.

Here’s some more hugs.

 

[MaryJanet]

I've just had a call from one of the vet nurses who has fallen in love with The Vulture. She's going to take him home to live with her two hens.

The worst part is I've realised he doesn't even know his own strength or how to fight. He was so easy to pick up and put in the box.

He's such an innocent.

This is going to plague my conscience for a good long while.

I ought to have got sex linked chicks, but it didn't even cross my mind. I though Australorp because Mary's so special and coronation sussex because they're such nice big birds and I hadn't had a white chicken yet.

That’s wonderful!

I take it she’s not in suburbia?

She lives in the hills so he should be able to stay there for as long as he needs.

What a splendid news.
This must be a great relief for you MJ!

An enormous relief.

I miss him though. So does Melissa.

And now there are only five chickens, which seems very few.

I had the same feeling a few years ago when I lost several chickens and ended up with 5.

I searched on our ‘marketplace’ a kind of Craigslist here. Was thinking about buying eggs, if I had a broody. But it was rather late in the season. Then I found an add from a girl who had a lonely hen who couldn’t keep her.
So I was happy to welcome Kraai as the 6th member of the flock. She’s the chicken in my avatar.

Nice! What a lovely thing to have done and now it's a lovely memory.
