Spying on my Friends

I spent this morning spying on the girls with the cameras. I learn so much about their behaviors by doing this and caught some fun videos and interesting photos this morning.

Check out how clever Phyllis is. She has found a way to eat without the others pecking or chasing her away. She is eating in the photo. Can you find her?

The next selections are from some video I collected while Aurora was laying her egg.

This is Aurora actually laying her egg! Listen and you can hear it hit the floor of the nest box. She the rearranges all the eggs under her and sits back down. She would sit on those eggs for at least 6 minutes after laying them. I did not know that they did that. After Daisy, the greatest hen ever, laid her egg she just left the box.

Back on Thursday Lilly started complaining nonstop. This is they way she acts before she lays one of her rare eggs. Usually it is only the day before. I have not caught her on the nest yet. I hope that this does not wind up being an issue for her.

It is hard to be a dual purpose lady. Just a day after celebrating Hattie I am going to pick on her. I'm sorry but this is part of being a member of my tribe. Praise one minute lather at your expense the next.

In this video you will note the Hattie is so large that she boots out the sun! A total eclipse of the Hattie!

It took me a while to find Phyllis! I overlooked her three times, that's how stealthy she is

In Appreciation of Aurora

It's Friday and fluffy butt pictures are the order of the day. One of the fluffiest in my tribe is Aurora. Photos like this display the beautiful creaminess of her bum.

I would like to point out how amazing her tail feathers are. Some have different color cores, they all vary in color. They are far from the uniform color they appear from a distance.

Her feathers post this last molt are simply stunning. Everywhere I look there are details and variances in color that simply did not seem to be there before.

She is quite a beauty in her own right.

Happy Sunday all! I sat down and thought that I would catch up on the last 10 pages or so...well that hasn't worked out...I keep coming to posts that reference an earlier post and I have to go back and see what it was about, so I haven't gotten very far and now I have to go help hubs! Have a great day everyone!

It's sort of a where's Waldo with a different distinctive hat.

She's a dolly. Looks like she has some Favorell in her.
