• The Pierogi
• The Pretty Pierogi

Us Aussies are being unfairly discriminated against today! I wanna see Bob's videos!

Hey I couldn't see them either but skipped ahead and found Bob on YouTube and saw them there. Subscribed too. But now I think the problem is solved? I wonder if it's related to mischief - I got a spam conversation starter notification email from BYC this afternoon, the notification was real but the conversation was not there - been removed I think - and the topic/question was very general, didn't make much sense.

So I’ve just observed Belle grabbing at Snows big dangly wattles Snow just stood there and let it happen then went in to lay her egg.
Is this a dominance strategy from Belle? I’m not convinced she’s laying yet, only get an egg every 2-3 days and never 2 on the one day. Maybe she’s about to begin.
Today is the one day I have to go into work until lunch, I’ll check on them when I get home.
They are let out for half a day everyday, maybe the new feeder is causing issues.
Anyway...

That was great! I have never seen Turkeys Dust Bathe before. Very cool.

I love Chicken Lady following them around.
That was great. Thank you @Devils Flower for sharing.

Your hens are quite lovely. My hens take mostly care of themselves grooming wise. Occasionally we have to clean a butt. Outside of that they groom and care for their feathers themselves.

Since yours are loaner chickens I wonder if they might be a little stressed being moved about. Stress can cause feathers to be more rumpled as grooming can drop off.

Your red hen does seem a little rumpled in that picture, almost like she is going through a molt. Are you finding feathers strewn about at all?

Mine seem to perpetually have a bit of. Molting going on and consequently often look a bit scruffy. @Kawi_girl, I don’t think it is anything to worry about.

I still like thinking of them as Phylli, diminutives of Phyllis.

I love that too!

Ice-cream
Here is Maggie enjoying her ice-kefir once I transferred it out of the rubber bowl.
Posting this because Maggie is cute and very keen on ice-cream, but also to test if the video issue is specific to @BY Bob.

UGH - I think this has the same issue as Bob's videos. Should we alert BYC administrators somehow?

No need, videos are working now
