How many did she have?

Twenty two, and two roosters

But people can be cruel.

What ever! I have Bo peeps in with me, one of my beautiful Barred Rock hens. Just too hot for her out.(ps she had cold corn today too, lucky hen!)

Hello, I have been following this thread since before I officially joined BYC and I love it!
I thought I might introduce myself with a fluffy bum photo of my alpha hen, Annie and a side shot too. Now if I can figure out how to do that !View attachment 2753274View attachment 2753273
I have a mixed flock of ten one year old hens in northwestern Canada. I purposely chose not to get production breeds in the hope that they might have longer lives without realizing that dual purpose equals broody, at least in my case! I am on my eight broody of the summer right now!

Annie has lovely fluff. She is gorgeous. Will you introduce us to the rest of your tribe?

 

[Scrambles83]

No, don’t feel bad. I am not a teacher, but the executive assistant to the superintendent and board. I did work in a school office for six years before this job. I was a molecular biologist, but ended that career when my second child was born and stayed home for five years, being s mom, and volunteering in the school, which led to me working in the district.

So how about you? I don’t know what you do, either. So sorry!

Sure, I would love to!

This is Bistro in the foreground who lays lovely blue eggs. Clara (left) is sharing a drink with Isabella, with Ruth in the background.

This is Rema. I just noticed yesterday that her wattles are a different size. I wonder if that's common?

This is Rosa in front and Louise, the Buff Orpington. I have four BOs and Louise is the only one who has never been broody!

Here is a bonus fluffy butt courtesy of Isabella!

Those are really good photos. I just shoot and go back and look later. Usually something comes out and I delete the rest.

I think you're right with that approach.

 

[goldenfingers]

Chicken photography: take 30 photos, throw away 29, maybe the 1 left over is ok (but not great).

At least, that's how it goes for me

And I've been trying to wait around for the perfect shot. I think I'll have to change my style.

They change nothing in Bluey. It is the original Australian. Mum started from hanging with all the Aussies here years ago. Mrs BY Bob laughs at me now.

I seem to be susceptible to this. Years ago I started writing tyres because of all the F1 racing articles I was reading.
