This scary looking character is Rose, she is a sweetie.

Of Course you would say she is a sweetie......you aren't a WORM! It looks very scary from down here...

Mine eat egg shells very well.

I've seen a few pecking at it, but not much.

I feed AF for the protein. I used to have a rooster too; he died a couple weeks ago.

I found one other soft shelled mess on the poop board a few days after the first one, but that's it. No egg mess on any bums, and no egg eating either. Yay!!!

Feather fixer has a very high protein content. It does not have a high calcium content.

Mug shot and tax. I'm sure I owe some. This is Stormy. She thinks I always have a special treat, just for her. She's often right.

Those eyes. Wow. I could get lost in those eyes. 👁👁👁👁👁👁👁👁

Watch the video that starts this thread and be really worried about that. I am watching the thread - no news yet.

I have to make certain that @Shadrach knows about this.

The poor Roadrunners suffer occasionally at the hands of Maggie. In different ways these are quite hard to watch. Mostly she just has to run towards them and they make themselves scarce. I can see why!

First of all, I would never lay in that bottom nest box. I've seen them hauled out of that box too many times. You would have to hover to pull me out of a nest box given the options you have.

Secondly, I'm seeing a lot of that behavior here from Hattie towards Sydney and Betty right now.

Bella’s mug for Monday.
Yes - she is one of those chickens who want to peck the camera but I love this photo also because of her lovely feet!

I love the color of her feathers. She's a pretty lady.

I just worry they will hurt each other. So small yet so vicious

Aurora and Hattie fought off and on until Aurora got hurt. That was what finally ended the challenge from Aurora.

I have to make certain that @Shadrach knows about this.

I did tag him to that thread but have no idea if he saw it.

Monday mugs:
Sorry the pics are a bit blurry...definitely NOT holding still for the camera:

I'm starting to think the hatchery got it wrong on the Black & White Chick. s/he is exactly 3 weeks old today, and his/her comb is now much more prominent than any of the others.....I suspect 'she' is really a 'he'. Or am I just overly nervous and need to give it a few weeks before assuming the worst???
