She's a beautiful hen!

 

[BY Bob]

Apart from the top knot very like Olivia. How friendly is she Bob?

She was afraid of everything today. I've had to handle her twice and she was calm each time. I'm not sure how friendly she will be but my friend endorsed her as the friendliest of her tribe.

 

[MaryJanet]

Definitely not just you. Italian lasagna (and spaghetti) just hits differently.

Strangely, the one pasta I had in Rome was not good

 

[BY Bob]

Thanks Bob. I fenced her off and gave her some scrambled egg. She took three mouthfuls and lost interest. So I gave her some oats, which she took a few mouthfuls and lost interest again. So I opened up the fence panel and let Nyssa in, who was losing her mind because she couldn’t get to the food. So she starts eating and River joins in!

The power of companionship. It's real.

 

[MaryJanet]

I guess it’s not true Italian but I’m eating it anyways!!!

That was not what I had in mind at all

 

[The-White-Elephant]

Yes. I even make my own brewed hot sauce. habaneros, jalapeños, and even ghost pepper sauce

Yes! I love hot sauce!

 

[MaryJanet]

It looks to me like Phyllis is giving her obligation pecks rather than chasing her around with murderous intent. If she has plenty of room in the run to get away, including vertical spaces where Phyllis won't notice her, I think they will sort it out OK.

Yes, I agree. Obligatory 'know your place' pecks rather than outright violence.

Betty finds her voice

Had she laid an egg Bob?

 

[Aussie-Chookmum]

Still not getting a notification! Maybe I turned it off somehow.

I was wondering how these notifications were supposed to work.

Thanks for including me By Bob but I have turned off notifications from BYC too. ..Which would explain why I'm not getting them...

Oh good! I'm so glad River had something to eat!
