The Maize is beginning to swell in the fields here, and the farmers are busy putting up electric fences against both boar and badgers. Maybe a simple low down electric fence around the menagerie would save the lives of a few hens etc. The wires are set at about 10-12 inches above the ground.
Oh, I could see so much this buffy hen pushing you out of the way with a gruff grandmother voice saying "where's the lil'bastard? Ill take care of 'em now, get out of my way old man" and shushing the little chick in a soft motherly voice while shooting the stink eye your way as they pass... LOL
as for tonight - i think this should be your new blogger theme song
"ONE!!! singular sensation, every little step HE takes..."
Mama buff is giving you the look...
ReplyDeleteHow can you talk about the chick surviving one moment, and the next say you want a scotch egg? :-)

ReplyDeleteBless surrogate mummy hen.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab time !
Good to hear - I wonder if the little chick could ever comprehend there are humans all around the world worrying about his/her health and future!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to pass through Bath? Give me a wave.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased! Enjoy the show today.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the chick survived the night. What a sweet picture.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear.
ReplyDeleteAwww no trolley service, you should have prepared beforehand!!
A hot flask of coffee and a wrapped Scotch Egg from home would have made the journey a lot more bearable.
I'm sympathetic me aren't I .... hehehe
Go chick! What a little survivor.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a proud foster mum...but a little wary of the camera :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like baby chick will be the stronger survivor it's meant to be.
ReplyDeleteDamn...........no coffee!!!!
Good news about the chick, not so good about the coffee.

Love the "Beware don't come any closer " look. I just love the way she just took over yesterday a no nonsense approach clucking all the way.

Eagle eye...
ReplyDeleteAw. You must really be pleased. what are you going to call him? Lucky Clucky?
ReplyDeleteHow were the tits and ass? Enjoyable, I hope. I don't know how you could carry on with your plans when that poor baby is in need.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Name? Nettle?
ReplyDeleteNo scotch egg? Life is tough.
I assumed you always carried an emergency stock of scotch eggs in case of unavailability and consequent emotional distress....
ReplyDeleteThat hen is definitely giving you a dirty look, John.
ReplyDeleteNo coffee service in the morning? How do they expect people to get on with their day?
Hope you have a good one, John!
