Saturday

I could barely sleep last night I was worried about snakes and that Mandy was locked in with the chickens. Every time I went out to check on the animals Mandy was always standing near the door getting wet.

I think the baby girls are enjoying the drakes fighting as it gives them a bit of time to themselves. I've noticed that most of the ducks feathers are growing back, perhaps getting ready for winter. Katcsa looks so cute and fluffy. I'll be sure to take photo once the camera arrives back from LA.

I took this photos of Speedy and Old Boy getting some sun the other day, its not often I see Speedy catching some rays. I kept a close eye on the new orphan black chick last night to see where it slept and if it was distressed its mother was gone. I was so pleased to see it was cuddled up to the other brown chick, so its aunt. I've never seen a chicken look after someone elses baby so I was very pleased, normally they peck them.
We're down to nine chickens now (including 2 roosters), and none of them are laying. I think we're going to have to buy some more.
