Good morning! It’s raining — time for a cat scarf? Yes, everyone, there’s a cat. You’re overreacting!
A cool, rainy morning
It’s cool today because of the rain, so everyone is out. Marron, our cat stalker, has come again today. This isn’t Natsu, it’s Ao — see, different colors. His movements look suspicious, ha!
Mint is complaining: “What are you?” Ao, are you going to drink that water? I think it’s dirty. I did change it, but someone has put dirt in it again — and he’s drinking it anyway.
How about you, Monarch? You must be getting used to life with cats by now.
Next up are Shimako and Madara. I’ll bring them inside once they’ve had their spay surgery. Shimako is big! She wants me to let her go as soon as possible.
Balloon has sharp eyes — eating the bits stuck to my boots. Oh, that’s not trash, that’s a meal. Pardon me.
Ao, you’re surrounded! With ducks this big around, we’ll be fine when stray cats come by. Ducks are scary!
Meet Kiwi
This is Kiwi, our blind hen. Her nickname is Kii-chan. The door of a cage was open, so she went in to play, and now she’s angry because the cat came over. Can she even get herself out? The cat’s gone now, Kiwi. Then Melona suddenly came in. What are you doing? Don’t be mean! Kiwi, your face — outside! Out!
She’s drinking dirty water again. Is she going to lay an egg — for the first time in half a year?
Because she’s blind and also has a chronic illness, Kiwi didn’t lay her first egg until she was past the age when commercial laying hens are usually retired. When she finally did, she kept laying for about 20 days — and then suddenly stopped completely. I worried an egg might be stuck. Instead, her feathers turned glossy and beautiful. Not spending energy on eggs, she grew into a splendid chicken. Is this movement an egg? If not, she’ll probably start a sand bath. She’s hard to read.
Hang in there, Niji
Niji, are you okay? For the second time, something very big — a mongoose, a rat, I don’t know — bit her on the back of the neck. I’ve been treating it. Why do you keep getting bitten? She’s growing little by little, but I’m still worried. Please grow up fast! Anyone who keeps chickens will understand: she’s palm-sized, yet already about six months old — old enough to lay eggs. Hey, Peanut, she’s tiny, isn’t she?
Thank you so much for watching Chicken Paradise Hawaii today. See you in the next video. Good night!
