I visited Jackie and her flock today then bought her to mine to visit my flock. We like to do the visiting each others chickens and trying to do any problem solving along the way, which I will come back to later.
Blossom is looking so happy as part of Jackie’s flock and is getting her feathers back.
Blossom sat on the log
The girls love their tyre, we may get our girls one
Blossom is looking good
Blossom and top girl, Clover
Blossom’s feathers are coming back in
I talked to her calling her “girlie” as I don’t want to confuse names and all my chooks get called “girlie”. She came up close and I felt sure she still recognised my voice but she is a happy part of Jackie’s flock and I am so happy to see her so settled and loved.
We talked about the fact that my girls have started pulling feathers again and we both felt that being contained and lack of space was probably a contributing factor and my husband agreed.
My husband and I talked about ways of making the run bigger and discussed extending it into the veg plot. We thought of taking two thirds of the veg plot to extend the run and using what used to be the thyme lawn, but had lost it’s way and has not worked since, as an extra veg plot.
I will take photos and explore this in another post but for today I want to conclude that Blossom is so much happier with her new flock and is looking really good.
More about the plans for the run extension soon.

I just love the hoot of blossom / bluebell and clover . .. What a team !
As for your new plan …….GO GIRL
I love that photo too and am also excited about the new plans.
I meant photo not hoot
I know. Richard said blame it on the red wine!
Do it – then you can get some more chickens!
No more chickens, just want the ones I have to be happy.
Well you say that now, but give it a couple of months…
Nooooo!
Steve,.., that had crossed my mind . .. But don’t tell Richard .
Don’t encourage him!
