Myrtle my bluebelle hen is feeling and looking much better, she’s now living with the old ex battery hens and things are going well. Due to her docile nature, I believe this is for the best.
She has taken to dustbathing in the empty veg beds recently and really ‘purrs’ with delight. I decided to get really close to her and take a photo close up. Trouble is, this tends to happen.
Yikes!
*No eyes were harmed by taking this photo, thanks to my camera*

/ January 3, 2013This one really hit a chord, my Bella (Bluebell) is a dust and sun bathing addict so it must be one of their traits and the noise she makes as you say purring with delight – never fails to make me stop and smile at their simple enjoyment.
