Long Day

Well I didn't have to pick the chicken up. Mick the neighbour came over and picked it up. It was pretty funny just after he picked it up we then had an animated conversation about snakes and other assorted things, mean while he was still holding onto her legs, so the chicken is swinging around while he's moving his arms. I had to stand back at one stage in fear of being hit. He thinks it was a snake that killed her as her head had been slobbered on so it looks like the snake attempted to ingest it but then working out she was too big and regurgiated it. Poor thing.
The remaining chicks and mothers we have are now sitting in the mango trees. Mandy, Old Boy, Young Boy and the child-less black hen is in the chicken coup. Mandy didn't want to go in the pen so I had to pick him up and take him in, he had that wet dog smell about him. I think he needs a bath.
