This is what I am going to have to do. It is hard for a chicken who's nickname is "piggy" to be told no, but so be it. I really don't give much in the way of treats, at least I don't think so, she just really likes to eat. I can relate. Less fruit, more greens, too.
OMG...she looks almost like a colorful pinecone in that picture!!! I love it!
What a wonderful set of 2fers! Great pictures. Made me smile.

for two fer Tuesday. I’m not sure of the rules anymore. Maybe we should have a “duck day” too? Because Tuesday has been two fer Tuesday Chicken pics. No offense intended. 
I have been a little absent here because yes, we have a baby! And I was a little worried about him at first. She had twins but I lost the second baby who was a girl. She was breech and her lungs were filled with liquid.but I’m happy to say we have a health little baby boy, no name yet, who was born at 12:30 am Wednesday morning (more like Tuesday night…) pacific time. I’ve been run a little ragged. He’s only drinking from one year so I am milking out the other (Both DH and I have tried everything to get him to take the other!) I also have 6 new chicks under Creamsicle, one under my new barred Mama (who isn’t quite as attentive) for 17 baby chooks this year. One broody still sitting and last night I evicted three more hopeful mamas from nests.
There was a twofer chick pic! My broody DCs!You might want to check with @BY Bob about having dual duckies

I must have been “goosed” as a child !
I agree, and I do “underfeed” somewhat here as well at times. The amount and variety of free ranging that I have though really helps, and I think I am able to keep the chickens an a much more natural manner than most. Lots of forest and pasture, no real predators except BBB (bad big birds) Mink
, and (strangely) fairly benign Racoons. This is a problem though for the high production ladies, who I just can’t seem to keep enough feed into some of them. I’ve been popping them into a meat tractor with the ladies I’m keeping away from the boys (everyday I’m moving 8-15 birds be hand to dust bathing, and a boy free tractor/the maternity ward!) and treating them heavily. Lots of feed, here have some chick starter mash with lots of scratch, and any dirty eggs? They can go back into the chickens! I’ve got 4 girls I find worryingly slim. They do have a good feed response, don’t have any signs of other illness, but just won’t seem to gain weight.
I think that is a(two-fer)^2 ( two-fer squared), as there are actually 4 chickens in that pic
