Whatto! Chicken Farmers..............
Lady Jacqueline and myself have both fallen in love again.........
Yes.......the cute Polish blonde has won us both over.........
It started when they were all in the coup together.....
There was a 'pecking order' emerging.......
With Nuggets at the top......
....and our little polish Supreme at the bottom..........
She's a completely dizzy blonde.........
.....and tends to over eggsagerate everything........
....but we couldn't stand by....... and watch her effectively being 'bullied' by the other two......
So Lady Jacqueline came to the rescue.......
.....sitting by the open end of the coup......
....stroking Supreme......
....until she gave of a trilling sound......
(that's Supreme - not Lady Jacqueline)
....which we've figured out she gives off .....when she's 'thrilled'........
A bit like purring......
....only the birdie version.
And it was while Lady J was observing this phenomena.......
....that the other two took advantage of the open ended coup......
......and suddenly became 'free range' chickens.......
Now they go wherever they like.............
....but Supreme still likes the idea of being stroked.........
....and she still runs to one of us......
....whenever we appear.
She also likes to bury her little head.......
....wherever she can!
We are starting to believe that Supreme may be getting a little too human.......
Letting herself indoors......
.....and visiting the bar.............
........... to order her favourite cocktail when the mood takes her.....
(she insists on Polish Vodka)
But in the meantime......
Nuggets....... (our bantam hen)........
....has also been enjoying her free range life to the full.......
....but she has been working far too hard............ to go visiting bars........
.....and when I went to sort out their bedding.........
....I was overjoyed to find.......
....that she has started to lay!
Yes!.....there it is!
Eggcellent news indeed.............
And finding that first egg was better than winning top prize in the Village Fete!
Every other day since then she's laid others.......
I took this pic when she'd laid three......
And now we have six!.........and that's just from ONE bird!
When all THREE of them get laying we are going to be rolling in eggs......
(metaphorically speaking)
Omelet anyone?
Tallyho!
Best Wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
