Chooky chook!

Here are chooky videos...

In #4 you can hear Schnitzels little squeals at around 34 seconds... She normally does more, but today she was subdued. I will try to get another video of her doing it. Until then, here are some chicken antics...

Elly is home!!!

Elly had her cruciate repaired yesterday. We picked her up this afternoon and surprisingly she was walking ok, just slowly.

They said she was very good. The nurses said she was sitting with her giving her pats and she looked a bit sorry for herself, but when the vet brought her out to us she was very happy and walked up to the vet nurses for pats (someone was spoilt at the vets, I think!)

We also seem to have a third chicken laying! The next video will be on Schnitzel and her carry on when we take her food. She gets so excited!!

Elly and Bert

With Elly being inside until her cruciate operation this week, she's getting a lot of love from the kitties ;)

Catch up

Here is my pictorial catch up!

Elly is having more surgery

Elly has done her cruciate and needs surgery! Never dull around here!

Here she is in her makeshift playpen with her little friends 😊

I've been neglectful again!

So, not a huge amount has happened... we have 1 chicken laying eggs! w00t! I will try to take a video of them eating food out of my hand (or should I say stealing! Two of them how try to peck at my hands regardless of if there is food!)

Ellys eyes have healed up nicely :)

Here she is showing them off...

Here is Bandit being, well... Bandit

This is what happens when Bandit and Elly play. She was chasing him around the yard (she was running her heart out and he was trotting hehehe.) I think she bit her tongue (hence the blood on her tongue.) It wasn't from him ;)

Bandit trying to look mean. EPIC Fail!

Finally, here is what we found when we went to fix the doona for bed...

New chicks

We got our 2 new chickens after the passing of Satay...

So introducing Drumstick (black with the red neck) and Schnitzel (the red one)!

They seem to be fitting in well and all the girls were huddled together this morning (it was pretty chilly!!!)

Schnitzel in particular is very soft, almost like fluid.

I tried to pick them up this afternoon, but they wouldn't let me. Hopefully when there are two of us in the coop we might have more luck!
