My little Lucy, a Columbian Wyndotte, is now in the nest box. I was moving my pens around and the girls were crazy with excitement waiting to get to some new grass. By the time I had it all ready to go, little Lucy had disappeared inside. The Black Austrolorp "Gerty " has laid 3 eggs total. First egg, then I think 4 days till the second one. Then she just skipped one day till her third egg, which was yesterday. Now if Lucy completes her task I will be very close to having a full breakfast . Having a glass of iced tea and waiting
Well that was fast! No celebration song, so I wasn't sure when I went to look.
I am ONE fortunate person. Last evening when it was time to shut up the chickens, Gracie just hunkered down outside the coop w/her babies. I picked up the babies and walked slow to the coop. Gracie followed. She went into the coop and found a corner to settel in for the night and her chicks followed. This morning when I went out to feet/release the chickens, I could hear one baby hollering it's head off. Went into the yard and could hear Gracie just inside/behind the door doing her Momma clucking. Couldn't see a baby so I started calling. Here comes a chick out from under the coop!! Let Momma and the rest of the chickens out. Momma & baby were glad to reunite. Guess after I put them in the coop, the chick went back outside. BUT, he/she survived outside all night by it'self!! Was 32 degrees when I got up this morning.
Peep (a Cubalaya) laid a small light rose colored egg while I was working IN the coop. Not a "peep" out of her! She just quietly left (kind of like my 17 Y/O)
Zia (Ancona) rips the song out for 5 minutes, sometimes sings BEFORE she lays.
Kids, they are all different.
