What a beautiful flock! You have raised some nice chickens there.

@BY Bob
I was wondering given you now have a camera whether you could time the number of times Sansa turns her eggs?

I could certainly set the camera up and let it run for a while. How long should I let it record?

Can I join the IFLC? These early morning starts are a bit much.

I think the IFLC is the reason you have to get up so early.

Friends

We did have a nice moment today when Sydney was out. Instead of harassing her Sansa hung out and groomed with Sydney for a while. Phyllis has been hanging with Sydney every time she comes out. Well today all the of the newbies shared that moment.

Thanks. We have never culled a single one (we’re to soft for that)

But I'm in solidarity with the chickens! Late starts please! The workers united...

I'm sorry to break the news to you.

I suppose someone has to.

You are not going to like this.

But unfortunately it is true.

The sad news is.

You are management now.

Rejection and Failure

Well I feel like a failure this morning. Sydney rejected the move. I woke up to a frantic hen desperately trying to break out of the big run to get to her nest in the big coop. Screaming at the top of her lungs with Aurora yelling along with her.

What else could I do. After a quick check in with @CrazyChookChookLady I put the eggs in the big run, into her nesting box of choice, and opened the door. She is now comfortably sitting on her & Stanley's eggs in the big coop.

Happy

I however, feel defeated. I think Aurora could tell. She has been hanging with me for a long time this morning, grooming.

I’m wondering if Clementine will look similar to Aurora when grown...? It’s amazing how much their color changes.. This is Maggie as a baby and now grown... I would have never guessed she’d have so much black.. it was hard for me to tell who was who looking at the baby pics...

In that case, I cede to the Union's requests, which are eminently sensible and likely to increase productivity through qualitative means such as improved worker satisfaction, workplace loyalty, and pride in their work. Not to mention fewer strikes and "sick" days.

It's amazing how EEs turn out. They are the most fun. You never know what you are going to get.

Her coloring is amazing. I think she is so beautiful. What color are her eggs?
