he had his first skimming stones lesson from his papa. mont the dog was confused why things were being thrown, but not for him.

"they're my chooks, ay mum" "i'll be in charge of them, ay mum" "i can feed them, ay mum" "they real like me, ay mum"
we got these hens for her birthday about eighteen months ago. this morning she really took ownership. she says she'll share the eggs with us though.
