Just wanted to show you a picture of Mister Kilmeister because she's awesome. At ten and a half, she's still going strong. She loves falling asleep with her head in my jacket. I love her so much. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKilli
"I was here first." "But it's MY nestbox." "Then why are my eggs in it, huh?" "Don't care. Mine. GET OUT!" #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley #TeamIncitatus #NestboxWars
Tiny Kevin would like to show you her crow. Please be kind, she's a beginner. Marks out of 10 for my girl? #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin
Morning cuddles with my best girl. I don't know why Mister Kilmeister smells like marzipan right now, but it's great! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKilli
Guess who went missing (she was in my studio), and has learned how to crow. That's twice she terrified me today. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin
Incitatus would love to play a compsognanthus in any future Jurassic Park movies. Sam Neill was a hero to her. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamIncitatus
It's hard looking after yourself when you're ill, but Tiny Kevin is dutifully preening me. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin
We have rewilded a lot of the garden. Believe it or not, this is the structured non wild section. The chooks love the clover we planted for them. It's the place to hang out in the afternoon. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCat
"I know you were just sitting, but I think I should sit with you." #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin
It's too hot, my chickens have melted #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley #TeamCass
More pictures of Chico. I miss my best friend. She would sit on me for hours getting pets, or just hanging out on my knee while I worked. She was such a good bird. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamChico
I miss Chico. She'll have been gone 6 years come September, but I think about her often. She was so full of love and curiosity. She liked to tap things with her industry-mangled beak, especially me. She'd peck me for hours. She was my best friend. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamChico
I am exhausted. Rimmer has forgotten how to chicken and has turned into a puddle on me. Too tired to move. Send snacks Help #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamRimmer
Sorry baby, all our boys have passed away. No boys, no babies. I know you'd be a wonderful mama, but I'm too busy to help keep you safe. Maybe next summer? 😭 #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley
Ron Pearlman is a most elegant chickie. She glows in the moonlight! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamRon
Mithrandir was too small to sit on all the eggs so Crowley came to help out. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley #TeamMithrandir
I have been savaged. SAVAGED! Well, she pecked my finger very gently, but I prefer to let her think she's a badass. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley
After sitting like a statue for a couple of minutes, Killì kicked over her personal food bowl and stalked off. Guess she isn't happy with the service? #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKilli
I built a small roost 5ft up in the coop. Certain chickies were perspective dancing at the rafters so I thought I'd make them something high. Pippin and Mithrandir simply use it as a step to the rafters, but Marshmallow loves it. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMarshmallow
I thought I'd lost Pippin. I looked everywhere. Then I looked a little harder and found her hiding in the shed rafters. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamPippin
Spilled some seed on the bedroom carpet. Not to worry, chickie chickie clean up crew is here to save the day! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin
Tiny Kevin is back in her capacity as overseer to the artwork. Please adorable tell her she's doing a very good job: motivation, encouragement, and regular poop breaks scheduled by a scream. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin
In non chicken related news, it's impossible to get a good picture of our native wildflower meadow with a phone. But it's looking great. Our little corner of the world is attracting all sorts of insects. And we have newts!
Incitatus says "please can you turn the sun down; it's too hot" #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamIncitatus
