On the wing

It's pruning time and it's balmy weather and we've  been pruning wings of some balmy hens! The feathered friends seem to be flying all over the place, escaping on the Autumn breeze!. I found a pretty little Araucana hen on a neighbours verandah roof. There's a sound of roosters crowing around the village, heard any time of day, which sets the dogs barking- becoming quite a noisy little place!

On a recent visit to Wellington, I met a  large flock of roosters and hens on the loose, in an open space in Island Bay. There was a mother hen with a clutch of tiny chicks who couldn't keep up with the flock, so she just down and covered them up!

Meanwhile, back at the Happy Hens studio, we've been working on some new ideas. Show you soon!
