I'm going to take a time out from previous story to celebrate a big event. We got our first egg of 2019 today!

I saw Lilly working on a nest today on the coop cam and later she was complaining and running in and out of the house while everyone else was free ranging. I am pretty sure it was my little enforcer.

I think this excited Jabber as he was "giving her the wing" all afternoon. She wanted nothing to do with him and kept slipping away. From my kitchen window it looked like Jabber thought he had the OK once when he clearly did not and my Alpha hen, Patsy, came racing over and gave him a chest to chest stare down. He was better behaved the rest of the afternoon.
Patsy had this look when she came after him. She stared at him while standing chest to chest for a full minute. Unfortumately i have no idea if anything was said.
