Glad you are back safe.

Seems Jaffar won’t let his hen any where near that hole I filled again

Good boy

Awww, how lovely. 11! Now tell me an incubator is better than a hen built nest.

It can be... predators, unreliable hens, other chickens being jerks and what not. I have a broody, actually two and a couple half’s. My Bully girl has decided to seriously sit and I decided to let her. She started with 4 eggs and got up to seven but another broody (or b****y) hen has gotten in the habit of stealing her nest, pushing her off and clumsily breaking eggs, which coats the remaining eggs (and her own semi-broody bosom) in goo. If I lock my bully girl in the dog crate she panics and eats her eggs, if I don’t... the Brody meat girl forces her off. My plan is now to slip come chicks from an incubator under her as soon as they hatch. I am fairly certain that the eggs she’s sitting on are so coated in their sibling yolks that they are hopeless at this point.

Good roosters are so precious!

We cleaned Roostie’s eye more thoroughly today, and he is now officially partially blind. Looks like I will need to re-asses his housing situation for something more permanent, a little more sheltered, and with plenty of enrichment for his ladies. He is still doing a good job herding them all to shelter at aerial predator alarms, and seems to be doing ok. I’m feeling really disappointed with myself, and awful that he’s in this position. He has been such a diligent, well mannered, and sweet rooster. He never tries to steal other ladies, keeps his girls safe and to themselves. And he was doing so much better with his foot.

I love "Lassie of the Chicken World" very clever.

The rabbit hole made me think of a well, and the seemingly-famous TV legend of Lassie rescuing Timmy from the well! I don't even know if that was a true episode or not!

Maybe you've already posted but I'm not reading ahead. Group 4 is from Little Women, Group 5 sounds like from a TV show from before my time, I can't think of the name...I liked Group 6 but had no idea about it! Same with the other Groups.

Good on you for having a go - especially as some of these go back to references in much earlier posts. put all 4 names in Google then characters in... & I think you will find most will come up.
