I would guess it's Federal Aviation Authority.

Close.

I've been practicing "eye" shots for a photography challenge. They work for tax.

22/03 and 23/03.
It's been dry with some sunshine the last couple of days.
I did one of Sylph's feet and it looks a bit better. She's go a mucky rear end again so there's a job to look forward to. It's the blueberries.

We've been getting one and half to two hours out on the field. While it may not be properly spring there is a lot of fresh greener popping up which the chickens are eating quite a lot of. This lot won't eat grass cut for them no matter how fresh but they're happy to take it off the plants.

I've been turning over various bits of rotting wood as we wander around. Quite a few bugs near the surface now it seems. I'm always amazed at the volume of what they eat in these few hours out. They're getting tired of me feeling their crops.

Everybody is getting along. Glais is paying a lot of attention to Mow's lead. Mow sets roosting time. As far as I've seen it's Mow who sets the ranging boundaries as well.

I've taken to putting the overnight food in last thing. Glais is eating all the best bits once he's in the coop rather than going to roost. It can't be plain hunger, he's just left a tray of exactly the same stuff he was eating out of before he went into the coop.

The Jackdaws I didn't quite get a picture of in an earlier post.

Behind every good man is a good woman. Actually, the more I learn about chimpanzees the more chickens remind me of them. The females choose their leader and pretty much decide how things will go and where everyone fits into the society. I haven’t been reading up on this but I have been watching a lot of this old show called Monkey Business. It’s fascinating. I am not particularly interested in great apes but their social structure is very interesting to me because it brings chickens to mind so often and being so evolutionarily removed from one another that makes it even more interesting to me.

And I am too tired to use better words than “interesting” so I will own that right out of the gate
