A few of you may remember in the summer he almost died when he was a chick. Somehow he got himself stuck between a tree and the compost bin and spent an entire night outside the coop, he was discovered the next day by Eddie. He lived in our home for about a week until he started jumping out of his box.

He was very shy when first introduced back into his flock, but now is getting very manly. He is mating and finally the other morning he tried to crow. A real come back kid!

She has a favourite pastime of biting Hive account@hendrix22's head when he goes in the coop to 'put the chickens to bed'. D'awwww...poor B. She also is a queen among the hens even though she is young, no one messes with her.

Before you get too excited, it's only an island at high tide. During medium and low tide you can walk across, especially easy in the winter with the ground nice and firm. It gets pretty suctiony and gross walking out there in the spring and summer, my boot and sandals have come off a few times going to the 'island'.

It was a very cold day, the windchill was a biting -15 Celsius, yet warm in the sun when the wind would die down a bit. The cove has a frozen layer again, but it's all good I'm not sad, I checked our weather forecast and it's going back to temperatures of +5 to 0 Celsius for the next couple weeks. More melting mini icebergs, yay!

I'm uncertain who lives there because we haven't met yet.

Chickens are very reliable and responsible animals. They will always put themselves to bed before dark, and these older, wiser chickens here go to bed even earlier. They never stray far from their coop. They always stay away from the road. I definitely vouch for chickens as companions.

It's so hard to get a good shot when they're up on their roosts, but I had to show you dear Mr. Pendock, even though it's not very clear. He sends his fondest regards to you, his loving Steem family, or is it his Steem loving family? HAHA :) :) Either way you catch my drift. Pendock loves you and so do I.
