Baby chook has been out for a short wander, mostly sticking close to Millie who showed her the compost heap which was very exciting.
We had a sudden cold burst of rain and she wanted to be INSIDE PLEASE but got herself confused about which side of the door works best for going in and had to suffer the indignity of being picked up and given a scritch.
"UnHAND me HUMAN"
She's a lot more vocal than Millie. Many things to say.

You're all that I can call my own.

@CaraBruar please do. I spent a winter in Tassie as a teen. #chook
Had some time for stitching this afternoon. Stitched up this wee cutie (approx. 5 x 7cm).
When I lived on farm acreage, I named one of my #chickens - Dumbass. It was because she was the slowest brain #chook in the flock. Sweetest hen & also laid the largest eggs but wasn't bright at all. Only hen who couldn't find her way back to coop & needed help. Only hen who needed help to exit coop. Only hen who kept getting herself trapped in weird places & needing to be rescued.
I pronounced her name: Doo-mas
Sounds fancy French, in case she understood English & had sensitive feelings ❤🐓❤
I was looking back to see if he was looking back at me ….
@drunkenmadman I've seen their peri-peri seasoning at the local big-chain supermarket, and you've given me a great idea for my next #smoked #chook foray...
This was my #beloved #chicken - Scarlett O'Layer. Taken when I lived in #CedarBC 🐓I named her after Scarlett O'Hara. She was an awesome #hen - super egg layer & my #smalltown #celebrity #chook 🥰 Scarlett was a superstar at Chicken Bingo at past Youbou Regatta & festival. Every lifeguard ran up to get portraits with her. Kids were delighted & many got to feed & hold her. I miss having chickens.
