Monday’s mugshot comes courtesy of Dotty. I may be being overly optimistic but I think the second point is looking a bit less swollen. I am still hoping she keeps it.

Maggie laid another egg again today. I tried to explain to her that it was not seemly for a hen of her age to lay an egg every day. That conversation did not go so well and she belted out her egg song for a good hour after that. It sounds muted in the recording. I was a good 200 yards away and it was still quite loud and somehow relentless.

I did wonder if she was actually yelling at the geese who are now flying North again in large numbers and are very loud. I feel like it was only a few weeks ago that they were flying South. I guess they only had a short holiday. Not a great picture but this was a particularly noisy flock.

Finally in depressing news Diana also laid an egg. The first for a long time. No shell.
I am thinking it is that her egg shell department is messed up rather than it being a calcium deficiency. So I am thinking of not giving her calcium pills unless she gets in trouble passing one. What do you think? My reasoning is that she has had months to rebuild her calcium stores while she wasn’t laying. Also, last year I chucked a lot of calcium down her and it didn’t make a difference. I am not sure what best to do but am leaning towards holding back on pills. She has egg shell and oyster shell available whenever she wants it. I don’t have good feelings about this. It is exactly what Elizabeth was doing before she died.

I sympathize Marie. I am tired of the cooler weather. I use to be hot blooded but this winter I couldn't stay warm.

I couldn't get over how cold my body was fully dressed and under a blanket.

And a bonus:View attachment 3016814Thing was up by the house with them. Since her meanderings in the horse pasture, she's gotten some confidence. Nothing that far (thankfully), but lots more across the yard.

Gorgeous birds, brilliant pictures.
