| Camilla & Paula: "Top knot or not top knot?" That is the question! Acrylic on canvas by F L Campbell |
Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: empty.
Steve and Brian had the almightiest ding-dong fight today. Apparently it was about whether Brian’s chick Paula looks better than Steve’s chick as yet ‘unnamed’. The only difference is that Unnamed now has the beginnings of a little topknot of feathers on its head. Brian apparently remarked when both chicks wandered past that Paula was a “classic” looking hen and added something about “no need for extra fussy bits to look fantastic.” Steve apparently replied that Unnamed was “classic” looking but had that “extra bit of style that really sets it apart”. With that she gave Brian a swift peck and then it was ALL ON. It was most unseemly for a couple of grown hens. I was deeply embarrassed for the chicks’ sakes.
