Nope, she just likes her privacy.... ALOT! She dropped her egg and headed outside... 🤷‍♀️

Angie is starting to scare me.... She gets in the box to lay an egg, and any other hen that even entertains the idea of entering the coop is immediately warned... This sound comes from what I can only assume is the pits of hell... Oh, nope... that's just Angie.... You may remember her from her...

Any update??? How's she doing??

So.... I went out to water the flowers at the coop this morning. I couldn't find R2D2 anywhere.... turns out, he was inside the coop. I looked in the window and asked him if he was taking a break.
