Mugs Monday

Sophia who is spending a lot of time in the nest box again. If she goes broody I will definitely give her a couple chicks to raise she was an awesome mama last year

Larry has been laying hard shelled eggs finally, maybe I’ll throw one in the bator with the silkie eggs.

Ruth the Little Pecker has been following me around this weekend - not sure why. Maybe she wants to finish the job and peck not my eyes out

Edit- FYI that white blob behind Sophia is the top of the chick feeder I am using to give them the Layer Textured feed.

Hi pretty girls

OMG what a cutie hahaha I love her scruffy feathers! Is she going to be a frizzle?

Thank you! I don’t think she is going to be a frizzle… if any of them are, it’s going to be Calypso! This was yesterday- her topknot is already twice as big!

The kiddos are lined up there sheltered from the wind catching some sun

No sign of Betsy I take it…. Double Darn, these chooks are so much stress at times

Sherlock barked in the middle of the last 2 nights. I saw nothing. I'm assuming a visit from something.

I love that first photo!

At one point almost all of them were lined up there snoozing the sun was nice but the wind was cool - so they hunkered down there - the wind was from the north and that direction was the run behind them - brrr!

Yes half a low dose twice a day. I would start that even if you don’t have the antibiotics.

Is that the fish mox you got?

Nope I ended up ordering baytril. It has shipped- but so far (besides not laying- so weird for her) she is behaving fine.

Changeable spring time weather at its best. Everyone was outside all weekend which was a good thing as starting tomorrow here it’s back to winter weather. Oh joy.

I can’t wait to get home and let them all outside for a couple hrs to dig around

Princess got a little dig around after I had written to you. Big time bonus
