'morning chickadees....brrr....a little chilly in my part of the world...what about where you are??
remember, way back in April i was telling you about our brand new chickens?....and remember how the other nanna and i feather sexed them when they were a day old???....and remember how confident we were that we had all the same sex??....... either 4 hens or 4 roosters....remember??.... you don't?...oh well, we did.....BUT...time has proved us a little wrong....don't be too tough...it appears we only stuffed up got one wrong.......pretty good i thought, until the other nanna boasted to me that she was a professional feather sexer of chickens....admittedly it was when she was fifteen, a lonnnnnggg time ago, but i had a lot of blind faith in her skills.....the chickens are "all growed up" now and one morning a few weeks ago mr lzilulu and i heard a distinctive, albeit very immature and croaky, cock-a-doodle-do coming from our chookhouse....gulp....
but, as a nanna, how could i not still love him?....his colours are scrumptious and in fact i am sure you will agree....he is absolutely scrumdillygorgeous.....
.......he certainly needs some voicework though.........
i don't know about you, but i am a sucker for chook bums..... no, not the cooked variety....the ones that are on glorious display when they are pecking.....
...don't you love their ugh boots???
....while i was braving the elements to get these photos, guess where the duchess was?
....yep, snuggled in front of the fire, in her own special chair, wearing her wool lined driza-bone and a look that definitely says "do not disturb"......
i'm off to the shed for another day of cleaning up....why does a general cleanup/de-clutter generate sooooo much mess?
.....until next time, take care and be kind to each other....sloppystuff from lziluu xox
