Couldn’t see any chicks here either. Maybe they are digging for crickets.

Chooks!

Same yard photo as cop car above but w/chickens before lawn was paved solid w/ paver stones 2017

Paver stone front yard & more cop cars responding. Chickens no longer like the front yard ~ too much activity going on ~ 2021

Has everyone pet their rooster today? I gave Mr Wyandottey a back rub!View attachment 4050112

I said very encouraging words to my eggies in the incubator. One of those ayam cemanis needs to be a nice roo. Then the turner moved them and lil Red charged the glass to protect her sisters!

They are not actually on strike. As part of their contract, negotiated by the IFLC, there is no requirement for them to lay eggs during the months of November, December, January, or February nor while molting or after the age of 5 years.

This does  NOT this relieve you of the obligation to provide meal worms.

It is very important that you understand the contract completely as wildcat strikes can occur if you do live up to your obligations. You should have regular meetings with your group's shop steward to assure that there are no miscommunications.

@RoyalChick has had multiple disputes and a strike. I am sure she can provide additional guidance.

Alright, noted.

Success! Dakota finally doesn’t shy away when I want to pet her and talk to her (she’s very intelligent) I’m amazed how much touchy feely I am with my chooks, but I am not that good with people in general

Hubby said if there are no cochin bantams in the eggs I got, we'll just have to get some bantams to help raise chicks.

So far we have Red, the rhode island red, and Blue, the sapphire sky. I haven't named my two yet.
