Less than 48 hours after shacking my head the scalp is healing and the bruising is going.
it's sore to the touch where the lid hit. Catherine said there's a solution for that. Don't touch it.

The little blue Janssen hen I bought home fron David's is settling in. Gee it's a quality thing. Beautiful.
it was pretty flighty yesterday, but already it's got used to me being right up close to it. No pigeon is ever more than a couple of feet away from me in my small loft, and they have live with it.
I made a bowl of chopped veggies for them this morning. She had never seen that before. It wasn't long before she was having a little peck at them
I suspect she's related to the Trillian Baby, whose mother is a Janssen. They look almost identical. I'll have to put a marker ring on one of them
The Heremans hen 666 and the Billion Baby Bitch

have both laid again. The Baby is is not really a bitch, she's just spoilt and very clever. I think I put the new hen in the shed just as she was getting ready to lay again and she felt threatened. She was going to kill the poor little thing though.
Everyone is friends out there now.

I asked David if that hen is related to Trillian, they are so alike.
Same mother. I thought so.
Have to think of a name. Got a Billion Baby and a Trillian Baby who have the same father, this one has the same mother as Trillian. Something Baby.

I've got too much time on my hands.
I went out to close the loft and lock up for the night. It's about 6 pm here.
The big grizzle Thone" was in the sputnik muttering away. He's paired up to the B$B and she's just laid an egg, so I have no doubt that his home life is a misery.
Anyway, when I walked up he shut his eyes and bowed his head. Then he shut his eyes and bowed his head.
So I shut my eyes and bowed my head. He shut his eyes and bowed his head. We repeated that about ten times.
The grizzle is a beautiful pigeon. He is a bit temperamental, but so am I.
When I went into the loft he was his usual self, all important. But when he chomped on my finger, it was lacking any power. And I swear he winked at me.
