Today they ventured to the other side of the yard and hung out under the lilac bush for a while. That's quite an accomplishment after the last few days of voluntary lockdown. They still want one of us "big people" with them before they will come out, though.
Awww that's so sweet they are looking to you as the protector 🤗

I knew they would bond with you 💖
 
Opening my heart here: I had a fairly good marriage. But when things got crazy, I lost everything that I thought I had. I was able to keep what I needed. X got the beachfront property, all the cars and even my children and my dog. Same story for every divorce (man’s opinion) but instead of crying about it, I pooled my resources, and bought some stock in a little company at the time, called Google. The rest is history. Now today, my retirement has been a wonderful time. I was thinking 🤔 what do I need now? Answer: leave Washington DC , go to California, buy a farm, get some chickens, make new friends, and forget everything about the past (because hurt, hurts) yah, sometimes I think about my x but memories do fade away with time. At least the bad ones do. And I’m better off at life now than I have ever been! In conclusion, my friends, follow your dreams. Make your dreams come true. Don’t wait for the golden goose, be happy with this: View attachment 3184581
That's a good life story, one where 'if life gives you lemons, make lemonade's 🤗

Who is this lovely lady?
 
Update: Flexi is hanging in there. She's moving a lot faster. She won't eat food but I feed her and all she wants is too peck the garden. She's not allowed i told her Alex will arrest her 👮‍♂️

My neighbour gave me some puppy pads her poop is coming out smelly and I found a spinach like substance in it, so she is passing what she had eaten. She's had melon, spicy wet scrambled egg and water this morning. Throwing lots of spice lemon and water into her and its helping her but not my eye's. 👀 She punished me for the spicy medicine :(

Plus the wormer feed has arrived.
She had a few hours sleep she has a perch and I made a pillow from her towel she slept soundly plus she was breathing quietly ❤ as for me I barely slept

Ok sorry I was confused. Yes you are right, too much time had passed and the first group she hatched came from eggs from a friend with a mixed flock. She mainly had easter eggers and wyandottes. Her boys were wyandottes so I always assumed Toothless and Henrietta were EE x Wyandotte crosses. I've always wondered given just how broody Momma Hen is if she had tried to hatch chicks on the hill somewhere when she had her original mate with her. Before he died though when you would catch a glimpse of them I never saw any chicks.
I feel like being a lone hen she was likely desperate to procreate. The poor thing. Hence her broodies and viciousness when broody even today.
