On July 5, little Pippi joined the wonderful(?) world of our teeny tiny farm.
She was picked up by the Michigan Humane Society, apparently wandering the side of the road. They estimate her age to be two months and she's such a little thing we're wondering if she's a bantam. They named her Pippi because she's a pipsqueak.
When I picked her up from MHS the staff person put his hand out, as you would for a parakeet and she climbed on, after which he took his hand to his shoulder and she hopped off. I tried it too.
She chatters all the time in a soft voice. Except when she's provoked by one of the big girls.
She's been with us over a week and she's been kept segregated with the usual screened division in the coop so the big girls (+Sharone) and she can see, smell and talk with each other. When the big girls went out for free range there was some fresh air visiting.
Last weekend I let her out to free range for an hour each day.
Oh my, what a grand time she had. And how hard to get her back in! It can be difficult to sneak in, grab her and get her back to her side of the coop without having the thundering herd come running to investigate. And I'm not referring to the donkeys!
What a cute little girl Pippi is, I love her color. She is lucky to have found herself in your care.

ReplyDeleteI just applied for a Car Loan from Mr Pedro and his investment funding company and an Unsubsidized Loan. After doing some research on different lenders I chose Discover because they seem to offer some of the best benefits in the market (at this precise moment in time) at a 2% rate. Contact Mr Pedro on pedroloanss@gmail.com via whatsapp: +393510140339. to apply for any type of loan.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, she's gorgeous Janet. How kind of you to give her a wonderful forever home with you. She will be like the little hen that's won the lottery. Hope integration goes smoothly. Best wishes, Louise.
