Just like everyone else they all have their own personalities, but joy here would just love it if I carried her around all day. She runs around my feet until I pick her up. π

Rats don't deserve to be disparaged in this manner! π
Nice to see there is at least one intelligent, empathetic, sentient being in the room!
They do have a strong smell when they have expanded,its a great way to find them.
You have to collect the 'eggs' before they expand, remove the white outside 'veil' and 'jelly'. The inside when fresh taste like mild radish.
I have also sliced and dried them to add to meals as a mushroom stock. βΊοΈ

They are aptly named and rather delicious. βΊοΈ
Photos never really do landscapes justice, in my opinion. I can only imagine how stunning it must have been, it is a cracking shot that has sparked my imagination.
Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic photograph.
Fantastic!
You are absolutely right, their egg production drops at 18 months old so they are sold off for dog food and the like! π
Poor babies are so loving and bring so much joy.
A little brown hen with deep rich coloured feathers, head turned to the side looking at the camera. She is standing inside an enclosure.
This is the stunning Antoinette, she was in a real state when we brought her home. Here is a picture of her two months later.

Hey folks, I hope everyone is staying safe and well.
Just a little ask from us here. If you are planning on homing chooks this year, please consider rehoming commercial hens, they really need you.

Oh I certainly will, it keeps them away from the people with guns. π
Amazing picture.
They can be really loud, calling and flapping if they see a preditor (local cat). We have about 18 at last count (seen at once), they are pretty tame, a couple have eaten from our hand and they follow us around on a morning waiting for their breakfast. π
Phesant on woodland floor, with alot of golden colouring and a pale turquoise back.
We have a resident pheasant in the garden this winter with some amazing colours.
Not a great picture it was taken from a distance with my phone!

I rescue chickens and have more eggs than I can eat, that is all!
ππ
Dozens of eggs with chalked on dates, in a large flat wooden bowl. The bowl is on a wooden chopping board in front of a ceramic cloche and a cream coloured pestle and morter.
Dozens of eggs, we are completely overwhelmed. My little chook friends will be having a feast on this cold wet Tuesday morning.

I've messaged you.
I'm so sorry, I don't understand why I can't privately message you.
Had a thought, if you sign up to a local group mailing list I can let the organisers know they can find your information there.
Would that be OK?

I can't seem to private message you!
Fantastic can you send me a private message with some contact details if that's OK and l can put you in touch?!
Hi there, there is an organised online North East hustings event taking place tomorrow at 6:30pm.
If you would like to take part let me know.
Good luck.
I'll just leave this here!

You are spot on, take care and have a lovely day too. π
Video games are an amazing learning tool. π
You are correct, it is an amanita muscaria (fly argaric).
They just look like a sweet treat! π
Top down veiw of a circular mushroom cap. A colour gradient from red in the centre, to orange, to yellow towards the edge, with a thin white line around the edge and white spots all over. Growing in grass and moss.
Sweet treat?!
