All this talk about lasagna. I have chili int he crock pot, cornbread will be with it tonight, and lasagna is going on the menu.

I need a lasagna tax payment for that.

I’ll keep an eye on her. The other two are much younger than her so I would have thought she’d be higher up the pecking order.

It is my understanding that pecking at an exposed area has nothing to do with the pecking order. Please don't confuse the two.

I know you will keep a close watch on her. Do you have something to spray her with? If not, I would see about getting some in advance.

Oh dear, that's how it starts.... Then before you know it, they are all broody, snarling like something from The Exorcist if you go near them, hogging the favourite nest box... And you wonder what ever happened to you friendly loving little feathered friends!!

I have 2 that scream if they're in a box and I'm checking for eggs. NOT broody, just YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME, STOP IT!!!

You'll have to wait until I make it, later this week.

I just spent over a hour outside with everyone. I let Chiquita and Poppy out to mingle but they pretty much stayed with Branch or to themselves. It warmed up today so about half the snow in my yard has melted and I made a observation. While they did eventually make their way to the melted patches Chiquita and Poppy clearly enjoyed and preferred to spend their time in the snow. The Cochin girls, gave me stink eye when they had to walk through it to get to a melted patch.
Chiquita mid zoomie in the snow, she ran around like crazy for a few minutes.

Branch who is not as much of a fan of the snow as the girls are eventually managed to lure them out into the sun.

Meanwhile, the big babies are still unimpressed with the white stuff.

Once they hit bare ground they did not leave.

I have been vandalized! Last night someone or several, got into my yard and punctured my tires on the bird mobile (Lexus) why would anyone chance breaking into my yard? It’s gonna be costly to replace two tires. A sheriff report is filed, and I will talk to the insurance agent on Monday. Breakins and vandalism is increasing in this area. (The deputy warned me) I even padlocked the coop last night.

Oh Alex I am so sorry. As well as the cost and the hassle that is so stressful for you.

Do you have any kind of security like cameras or motion activated lights? Might be worth getting something maybe?

I meant a chicken photo for mentioning lasagna.
