[BY Bob]

I dont know, can one reach in and pull it out if need be???

Now that, sounds gross!

I just went outside and found Snow and Belle under the yukkas, kinda hiding... couldn’t see Bok.
Walked around the back of the house to their run and looked in the coop and there she is. She is squatting in the nesting box over the wooden toy egg of Violet’s I threw in there yesterday to encourage Snow, shavings on her back from building a nest and trilling at me to please leave

Maybe show it to them and eat it in front of them. Kind of like letting cats out in a snowstorm.

What kind of terrible person do you think I am?

They don’t know any better and after all, they don’t share their worms with me. Or with each other for that matter!
I think we are all content without them getting a taste for walnuts!

A photo would surely help. I would start with dry skin and moisturize. It's rarely the zebra.

What would you use to moisturize? Maybe some mineral oil?

Good for you, Lozzy. How did it go?

Again!

I was outside working in the yard today starting to prep it for spring flowers, etc. When I went out the tribe was really messed up. I mean disorganized. Aurora was on the deck, Phyllis was in the garden, Sydney was in the run and Sansa was at the woodpile. Hattie and Lilly were no where to be found. No one was in distress. Where was the leadership of this tribe? As it was, a predator could have picked one of without the others ever knowing.

And where were Hattie and Lilly?

I found them here:

Well that explains that. It also reinforced my fears of what would happen should Aurora ever be in charge.

It had a side effect as well. The two of them were in there over 2 hours, which backed up egg laying by Sydney, Sansa, and Phyllis. That resulted in the Bakawking wars. Hens were all complaining at the tops of their lungs at one point or another.

What was the result of them both being in there so long........NOTHING! NO EGGS WERE LAID! I get Lilly just hanging out but Hattie? I don't get that.

I really don't need Lilly laying eggs anyway. I really do not want or need Lilly laying. We have plenty of eggs right now.

Once Lilly left the coop, the tribe came her. She called them, and they came. Structure returned.

Everything was normal after that until roost time. They all went to bed as per usual. It wasn't until I checked the cameras to see how they roosted until I figured out something was wrong.

What is this all about!?

Lilly is not one to sleep in the nest box. I can't remember if I have ever seen this before from her. Is she just messing with me?

Crisco or Coconut oil.

 

[RoyalChick]

Crisco or Coconut oil.

Thanks. Will do. Not sure where to get coconut oil. But Crisco should’ve easy to find.
