Six lovely silkie pullets are looking for new 🏠.
3X black & 3X buff/lemon.
35 🥚 each.
The blacks have very fluffy hair-dos and would need a trim every now and then around the eyes for better vision🧐.

Oceania is the only continent without the highly infectious H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has caused millions of bird deaths overseas.

👢Back in the gumboots.
🐓Silkies look like wet chickens.
❄️There is a dusting of snow on the Lumsden Hills.
🐮Hiona's teeny weeny calf was born on Tuesday in nearly torrential rain.
🦆Our 11 years old duck is the only one who is throughly enjoying this wet wilderness.
🛖The rest is hiding.

Brushing (mini Highland) cow 🐮 🐂 is extremely satisfying and therapeutic!

Sun🌞 is finally shining in Lumsden after days and nights of rain🌨⛈️. The Spring vibes were very playful and I tried a couple of hairdos on Aniana (I don't think she appreciated it a lot).
So, is it 🅰️ or 🅱️❓️🤷‍♀️😃

Aniana is now available to a new brushing 🪮 home🏡.
I will share more details later and list her properly. I start to be a little reluctant to part with her, but she will definitely benefit in the home where she can be given more brushing time.
I can possibly pair her with a friend🐂 if interested.

Just seeking an expression of interest now, more privately.

🌸Visitors are welcome by appointment🌸
