2 today…one from th Banty hen and one from one of the big girls. I’m still guessing Flossy bc Buffy’s comb is still pink. But one of the recent eggs was bigger than anything Flossy laid before. Who knows?
2 today…one from the Banty hen and one from Flossy I believe. Flossy hasn’t laid eggs regular in about a year, since I got a free bag of Purina layer feed last summer. Her comb has been more pink than red in that time, even though I switched back to my regular local mill layer feed after that...
Welp…it’s been a while since I’ve been here. Lots happened over the summer. I lost two of my girls, Jade and Bossy, and acquired a new Buff Orpington (I think).
Goldie has started laying again, after a short break when the new hen arrived. But I didn’t have any eggs from Flossy or the new hen...

3 Banty eggs today. Jade has been in broody Banty jail since Friday. Goldie hasn’t had anything in the nest in a few days. I found two Goldie eggs in the feed bucket tonight. And when I went back to the house, Jade had an egg in her jail cell!

Where has this page been? I love Bostons. My current boy, Max, was rescued four years ago, the same week my Dad died. He has been my rock. I have three other dogs, but Max is my special boy.
We had storms here last night and the girls went for a ride. They’re fine and the coop wasn’t damaged, just turned over on its side.
Banty Jade laid a weird shaped egg, that got really skinny on one end.
Yesterday evening I found a Banty egg from Goldie in the empty water bucket where I found a stash a week or so back. Then when I closed up the coop, there was another Banty egg from Jade in the nest box. I’m still seeing occasional busted soft shell eggs, but rarely a solid egg from the Golden...
