Watch that eye, goldie! :love

If I was sporting the bald spot Carbon is, I would be muttering anti-Dig statements, too!

Any chance you will keep LC, even if he is a boy? Runts always manage to win me to their fan club :love

Martha indeed appears to be casting some dark looks in the direction of the Dominique's roost bar! Yikes But, but she forgot LC!

Have you seen improvement from that wound on Fret?

My hen resembles an Olympian body builder when she does that squat: Right after the egg dropped my rooster (sitting quietly beside her the entire time) stood up:

Ok that was fun

What a good mom! It does look crowded in there, maybe little chick will get up on the roost tomorrow?

What a great picture!

Do you think there is a chance that some of the eggs may be Dig's vs Henry's?

You may or may not do this, but washing the eggs and keeping them on the counter/at room temps does shorten their shelf life somewhat. Whereas not washing and refrigerating keeps the eggs fresher, longer.

Glad to know I am not alone in administering occasional goodnight pats and/or "back boops" to roosting chickens. Not sure what they think about the practice, but my rooster tolerates 2-3 boops well: Little chick is looking good!

Henry looks too happy to care about the classic looks of confusion cast by his attentive side crowd. May we all find something nice to burble about today 🙂 Looks like Mow decided to give Fret some roosting company for the night!

Peek-a-boo, chicks!

Might there be any jostling or restlessness from the others' nocturnal movements on the roost that she wishes to avoid while nursing that wound? 🤔 The apple blossom is lovely!

Perhaps the allotment poster's opinions would carry more weight than wind could they witness the obvious misery expressed here by Henry, Carbon, Fret, and Mow in having to share a perch with the perpetrator of said impolitic cruelty ;)

Good job with your judgement call, fuzzi! Happy for you and your flock. How is little chick doing?

Sad for these tough circumstances, but also very happy for the overall relief and future harmony of the flock. Those bald spots certainly won't be missed. Henry was so harassed-looking at the beginning of this thread, and you have brought so much peace and balance to both him, and the flock...

Do you think it likely that Mow stops roaming so much without the impetus of keeping away from Dig?

Wow! Maybe Martha can get some extra grapes for all her dedicated work? Amazing the chick size difference at only a few days apart!
