Silver hen feathers are being shoved by white flecked black feathers. It's the white on the shoulder that's making me nervous. However, Juvenile feathers have been known to completely be replaced.View attachment 2755795
Comb is a lot more lumpy than siblings, but it could just be the result of a single pea comb hybrid.

But that face!

1 baby so far. It has a nice full belly and is already nursing. Peaches is doing great!

That's so cool. I remember when my friend's cat gave birth when she was overseas.

O.m.g!
As if Phyllis isn't making it challenging enough with her unpredictable nature and now this!
I'm so sorry this happened, but also glad it wasn't fertile eggs. That would have been beyond heartbreak.
Good on you for sectioning off. This is a wonderful interim solution while the new coop is being fashioned.
I am very very very excited (note..I did not say EGGcited ) about the new Phyllis led tribe. It must be very hard watching her be outcast. What you are willing to do to remedy that is so kind and sweet

There are times my heart just breaks for her. Frankly it would be cheaper and easier to rehome her to someone with Polish but I could never let her go. She is too wonderful and if this works right, she will be her own little leader.

Guys, I apologize! I spent several hours this morning reading through the last 60 or so pages and the site only accepted leas than half of my likes and responses.
I'm caught up on Michelle's hubby's poor finger and not following doctor orders as well as we all hope he would.
And Alex's add'l property and worried related to it and the 6 chickens.
And Blazinga's little chick that I hope continues to do better (you have had such a rough time).
And Marie with her big animal lover heart (did you determine what the bird is?)
And that pic of Rebecca's littles
I did post a specific response to Bob...I sure hope it shows up.

I think they are. No worries. You are here and caught up. That's all that matters.

In news here...
Naenae did another soft egg last night. Thus was after I found a fully shelled ine of hers in the middle of the yard yesterday! What is up with that?? The day before she had another double yolker.
She is back to her normal self this morning.
I had really hoped all the supplements we've added would help. Unfortunately it wasn't the best run scientific approach as hubby cannot stop himself from giving them some treats. He limited it, but still sneaks things to them. I really wanted to run a full month of layer feed and chicken specific supplements only.

The other news is we broke ground on the new coop. I will take pics along the way and share when complete. The high level is that it is much more appropriate sized for 7 growing birds and will allow us humans to be inside with them during cruddy weather for cuddles.

I'm sorry that Naenae is still having trouble.

Exciting news on the coop! I can't wait to watch it go up!

and yes, it's me that one annoying little chick-y baby mama person that randomly pops in, sorry.

Glad to see you!

You may still be a little early to make the call. What a cutie!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I'm sorry I haven't been around, I've missed you all. We are finally finished with our kitchen remodel and I can get back to some BYC time! I don't know how I will ever catch up. I will just have to pick a spot and start from there!

P.S. I'm posting this on all of the threads I follow, so some of you might see it more than once!

We will be so glad to have you back. You have been missed!

Congratulations on the kitchen! Having seen the pictures on your thread it looks amazing!
