No. She was given to us as a rescue at 7 weeks old. She was our first chicken and has survived my learning curve. She’s the leader of our roosterless flock and a good one. And she still comes to sit in my lap or beside me almost every day.

Could you please let me know if these are portrait as I can’t tell and I’ll replace today with landscape if these are dissed 😝thank you for the hard work!! ☺️🥰

Entry #356 was the only photo not disqualified for size. It’s “hens perching” and they are a mix of barred rocks, Smokey pearls and a Wyandotte blue laced gold.

I’m so sorry 😞 she sounded sweet and you clearly grew to bond with her in the short time. Don’t be hard on yourself for not knowing. I hate raccoons. I remember leaving Georgina out nights at the beginning too while I learned about chickens. Then realized how dangerous that could have been. Now...

It’s a great reply and I thank you. I want them dead. There are 5. We looked at the camera surveillance this morning and they are roaming our land. I have no feelings for these animals after an incident some years ago protecting feral cats. Looks like we’d need several traps however and if one...

Good point. It’s on a daisy chain and the primary feed leg is a GFCI which has a safety breaker. We attached this to the camera so if ever there’s a problem we get an alert.

Thank you happy hen lover!

Thank you Sally! It was an exciting day for her obviously and me lol. We are on egg 3 day 🤩.

That’s wonderful. I’d love to read your work. I’m going to look for articles. I went to college in Bristol.

Yesterday Georgina laid our first egg. She’s 20 weeks. The others only 12 weeks. She came running over to the deck where I was, sat on my knee then she jumped on the deck rail and flew down 10 feet and ran back to the coop. She came to tell me! It’s a beautiful egg! I have a video of her flight...
