I am several days behind again. I will get caught up tonight but I need to show you all this and make a announcement.
Owly is indeed laying. I have not caught her in the act, but I have caught her singing the egg song not too far away from a freshly laid warm egg a couple times this week.

Queen Aurora has always been her role model. She idolizes her and strives to do everything in her little chicken body to live up to the Great Queens standards. Grow a mighty fine beard. Check.

Always be underfoot so if anything is handed out she gets to be first to sample, even if it means taking a peck from her Queen Raven. Check

She is among the youngest of the flock so you would think she would be near the bottom of the pecking order. You would be wrong. She is bold, she is fearless and she also shadows Raven. I have caught her putting some of the other hens in their place. Well, the place she thinks they belong. She sticks up for Poppet, if a hen tries to be mean to her while she is out with me Owly gives them a thumping. I do see this little girl one day striving to be Queen herself. If she keeps learning, I do not think that will be a bad thing. Long live Raven though so many years into the future please.
Most importantly, the Great Queen Aurora decrees that the most special eggs are pink. She vows that much to her humans annoyance that Blue eggs are overrated, pink is what one must strive for.
Owly's response...

The Princesses hanging out under the netting I installed in the other side.
Chickens are such time sinks. It is already afternoon and all I have done so far today apart from paying my insurance is hang out in the Chicken Yard.

Good job! Well done! It looks great

I know what you mean. Putting up chicken wire is not so easy either. Hard on the arms and shoulders.

Be careful - we aren’t 19 anymore you know

Even though I make a point now to go spend time every evening outside with the chickens, I do not always have my camera. It seems at most I can only sneak in 10 to 15 minutes. Those few precious minutes are simply spent just sitting with the flock being in the moment. Today however I did bring out the camera and stole a extra few minutes chasing everyone around for photos.
For Wattle Wednesday I offer you my most impressive set of wattles in the flock.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!
Today is her 5th Hatchday! All the tribe wanted to celebrate with her! It is no surprise that while Hattie's 5th party was very proper, Aurora's was a free for all. Sydney refused to wait for Aurora to even get there and just dived in.

More photos to come as the celebration goes on!

From Cluckingham Court, we wish you your worship, a fine hatch day today.
Your humble servant on the other side of the country is keeping his promise to loyalty, bravery and integrity in honor of you your majesty Queen Aurora of the Fluffy Butt Acres community.

Respectfully, Sir Jaffar of Cluckingham.

Great party!

It was at that. Hattie and Sydney had a lot of cake. Lady Featherington grabbed a whole cake and blocked anyone else from getting too much of it. Hysterical.
