Jack's 3 lovely girls.
Jack's 3 lovely girls.Well the New year has started well with lovely sunshine and blue skys,the first time for what seems like ages that girls have had the sun on their feathers.
Let me introduce you.. Clover a lovely black Miss Pepperpot we have had her now 20 months and she is the boss of the three and a lady ,my Oh reckons she should be called duchess and have a string of pearls. She tut tuts when the other 2 are getting into trouble,only joining in when she thinks the coast is clear. She is the one that makes sure Rosie goes to bed on time . Poppy We have had her 20 months and she is a ginger nut .Always in trouble fluffy knickers in the air causing mayhem iin the herb garden that was and getting the otyhers to join her . She has just been moulting and feeling sorry for herself and just got her nerw feathers and looks lovelier than ever ....She is a talker and chats a way all the time trying to tell me the gossip. Rosie Last but not least she is the baby and we have had her 12 months another ginger who is always on the outside looking in ,always the first in bed at night and very greedy and always eating . She lost her friend Eva just a month after joining the other 2 andsettled like a duck to water (or is that chicken to coup)..She is the nosy one always wants to know what goes on and where Poppy is in trouble she is not far behind. 4 lovely girls~~ Clover, the oldie and top chick Bonnie second in command .new girls Bluebell and Blossom.
2 lovely new girls 19-01-2015~~ Chelsea and Ruby. Eva , Florry , Poppy ,Annie and Rosie R.I.P The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.” - unknown
Re: Jack's 3 lovely girls.If someone had told me 18 months ago that chickens all have different personalities I would have thought they were mad, but they have, as everyone on here can vouch for, amazing little birds!

Re: Jack's 3 lovely girls.January 3rd
Today is the 3rd day of my retirement and 3 days with out any rain.. Is that an omen do you reckon? Oh what a relief my patio and pathway is drying out and the girls have been running around since early morning.If I had been at work they would be in the Walk-in-Run till 2pm.I don't know who is happier about that me or them.Like most of us I hate having them shut in even though they have lots of space. 4 lovely girls~~ Clover, the oldie and top chick Bonnie second in command .new girls Bluebell and Blossom.

Re: Jack's 3 lovely girls.January 4th This morning the sun is out again and it is dry..So while my OH is struggling to decorate the bedroom before he goes back to work on Monday I am keeping out of the way.
The girls are having another day roaming around our handkerchief sized garden and i can see them as I type this just drinking water from a dirty grotty puddle when they have two bowls of clean water . So the plan this afternoon is to have a good clean out of the run while it is dry..Coups cleaned and scrubbed properly,runs raked and sanatized and the patio clear of poo etc., and swabbed down. Well that is the plan and you know what happens to plans . Little Rosie is sat by the patio door with her eyes closed and is not her usual sparkly self ,Perhaps she fancied a lie in and didn't get it.very unusual for her ,so once again I am on worry watch 4 lovely girls~~ Clover, the oldie and top chick Bonnie second in command .new girls Bluebell and Blossom.
