Wow very regal! She looks like a haughty Queen looking over her subjects

She really does.
She's lowest in the pecking order but apparently I am beneath her...

I think I am all caught up again. Hopefully I haven’t missed pages. I had a really wonderful day outside with the chickens. However, the resident hawk has been relentless and almost seems to be taunting them. It makes me sad for the girls because they don’t like to venture out like they used to. They definitely seem to feel safer when I am there, plus I had several lap visits. Here are a few flockservations:

• Bridgey does NOT like the cold.
• Buttercup has a mild respiratory issue (J could hear it when she lap sat.
• Cashew is about to start laying again soon (squatted for me once today, visited the nest box, and has been doing her cute growly chatter)
• Minnie, Flo, Sunshine, Bridge, Cashew and Buttercup all want my attention. Roxy is starting to show interest, as well. Lucky is molting, but did visit my lap briefly. Flash does NOT want to be handled, but does come around me. Minnie does not want my attention, and us getting pretty bossy with those she outranks. All good signs!
• A dog I don’t know was nearby today. Lexi chased it off. The chickens were clueless.

How cold was it? I'm curious what you consider to be cold.

Too funny, my crew look to me like mama hen, which is a good thing as they come running when I call (food also might have something to do with that haha).

Awesomeness! Love silkies she is just splendid!!! Love her! Does she have blue ears ??

Do you find she has some issues seeing with that hair-do? I had to trim my gals coiffure they kept running into things!!!! Once I started trimming, they were able to jump up on the highest roosts the other gals were on. Noticed yesterday that Fluffy was in need of a trim

Phyllis is a polish and yes we need to trim around her eyes. Looks like she needs it again.

She is a Polish not a Silkie. I provide that information as those are possibly the only two breeds I can reliably identify!
