Oh, what type of chook is she? I love her coloring.

You gotta love broodies my broody growls at me so much.

Oh, I don't know! Sapphire Gem x RIR. That's what came out of it. (Dawn was the one that I had to help out of the egg, that's why she's so special to me!) When she is in the nest box she sounds like she's got a cold.

And is worried about the gender of her chicks
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27637543

So she went to get another one and it is already creating drama.

@featherhead007
Has been caring for Jaffar who has been quite poorly off and on all week. He has been through a lot.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27636491

He is now blind but still looking after his ladies as best he can.

And we got a lovely (and in focus!) picture of the mighty Sir Jaffar
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27636231

The rooster from next door who bloodied up Jaffar has been back and sounds dangerous.

Ridges the Guinea got a fecal test down (PtR is excited about the report) and now is doing better with some treatment. Hopefully this week we will learn even more good news on Ridges.

PtR's Mom has been acting a bit strangely about some eggs being incubated. Now we know why and are all anxiously waiting to see what happens!

@RebeccaBoyd
Nearly lost an ear to ....... Yup, you guessed it ... Momma Hen is at it again!
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27627504

And it may be about to get worse!
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27630294

All her chickens are ticked off at her (and her Dad).
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27637410

But are getting over it.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-27638652

Finally, condolences to Rebecca on the death of her grandmother. I know we are all happy to see she is able to take joy in a spring day and her beloved chickens.

Thanks for the synopsis!

 

[featherhead007]

Get some kitchen digital scales. They aren’t that expensive.
Here is broody Tassels having her weigh-in.
