A day in the life of Linda. Aka my new research assistant 🥰
It's only been 10 days since she and her buddies were adopted and she's such a friendly and inquisitive little thing.

A photo of a Macbook which says 9:17am and is in front of a partitioned section of a chicken run. Behind the green mesh partition are 4 scraggly rescue hens, 2 of which are visible scratching around on the floor. The partition is to slowly introduce the new rescues to the existing flock. The top of the photo shows lots of flower plants in hanging baskets and garden decorations such as glass butterflies and metal bugs.
A photo of a large undercover chicekn run made from a polytunnel frame and pvc corrugated sheets. On the left section the run is partitioned with green mesh and inside are 4 new rescue hens. On the right is the main chicken run with 2 very healthy and fluffy chickens who were resuced almost 2 years ago. The new hens are eating their food and drinking from their hanging water feeders while the older pair are eating porridge from a plastic container because this is the only thing that stops them shouting in protest about the new arrivals! We are on day 3 of 10 of introducing the new hens to the established flock.
A photo of a healthy recuse hen called Nugget who is looking through to a partitioned section of a chicken run where new rescues hens are starting to be introduced to the flock.
Me sitting a a chicken run with a cup of tea and wrapped in an electric blanket ready to write a thesis!
When you've got a thesis to write but also recently adopted 4 new rescue hens & need to supervise the chaos and seemingly never ending drama of the existing hens. Thank goodness I invested in an electric blanket and a wifi booster!

An freshly laid egg from a rescue chicken in the palm of my hand. The shell is incredibly wrinkled, especially at the lower wider end.
I wish my little lady would realise she's in retirement and doesn't need to lay anymore. Because this looks painful!! 😭

Snowdrop, Daffodil & Tulip.
Rescued from an egg producer, and due to be slaughtered at only 18 months old.
I hope they enjoy their retirement in my garden ❤️

I've not had much time to spend with these two for a few weeks so I'm making the most of today before I head off to my 2nd conference in 2 weeks!
🐔🥰🐔
They have marked the occasion with some excellent posing for the camera...

Always following me.
Always inquisitive.

Perfect Sunday:
A 4 mile early morning walk following by crocheting in the glorious sunshine. Soundtracked by BBC 6Music since 8am.

No cheating! Post the last pic you took of your pet! Some of my #RescueHens lounging on the patio. Special shoutout to the three who took over the human sun lounger, cuddled up together, and snoozed!

against a background of stone wall and yucca plant, a white woman with straggly pale hair and turquoise spectacles, cuddles a brown hen. The hen is looking steaight into the camera, a slightly puzzled expression in her amber eyes.
What to do on a showery Sunday evening? Why, cuddle a hen in a conservatory, of course! Ellie is rather poorly but will scoff a bowl of diced grapes or a biscuit if absolutely forced to! #backyardhens #rescuehens

Double-yolk egg frying in a pan (for spouse's lunch).
Our girls treated us to our first ever double-yoker today.

Just because we all need a laugh sometimes...
I've been practising my PhD conference presentation to a captive audience...
"I hope I don't chicken out, end up with egg on my face or lose my wattle on the day" (un)fortunately all "yokes" thanks to my husband! 😆

The girls enjoyed their first night in the fancy new #Omlet Eglu, and I enjoyed my first lie in for months, thanks to the automatic door!! 🙏
It'll take a while to get adjusted to their new house and where the nest box is but we're happy ladies all round!!

Anyone who keeps chickens will tell you that you always end up with a favourite-3 weeks since we got our latest rescue hens and Sadie has stolen my heart.The others pick on her and she's the only one who knows how to escape! We always have cuddles before I put her back. #hens #rescuehens #chickens

I didn't have this on my bingo card for today (1st day back in work).
Spa afternoon-tea with a poorly Pea, while the others invade my house to see what all the fuss is about. Even upstairs!
I knew the reduced attention would affect them, but this was total bedlam!
