Nice and warm today and the worms are wriggling. Elizabeth is digging to China. Think I might lend her to the Suez Canal - she could dig out that big ship that got stuck in no time!
:lau
Meanwhile, the weather forecast is seriously nuts. Brrrr. And snow?! :eek:

Just what you don't need. Hopefully it won't dump very much!
Let us know if she reaches China...:D

Intriguing evening here. At roosting time, Snow went in first followed by Bok then Belle.
Snow is usually last by about 5 mins with Bok being first and Belle second 🤔
Maybe she was just to tired to care about bedtime order politics hahaha.
Belle was running at her pretty often on Thursday afternoon when I got home from work. I saw her about 6 times in a few minutes chasing after Snow with hackles up and gave her a peck on the head to which, as you all know, Snow just backs away from and goes about her business.

Maybe Snow is shucking the set bedtime rules of the tribe and will lay her first ever egg tomorrow 🤭

Edited to add Snow is by far the biggest of all 3 hens, my gentle giant 🥰 (except if she thinks my finger or toe is something edible)
My gentle giant suffered a lot from the Peckasaurus while Ivy was broody.

It's not how big the chicken is. It's how big the chicken thinks it is.
 
I do in my coop, but never have with chicks.
I had plastic down on the cardboard base of the brooder, then a thin layer of pdz, then about two inches of wood chips, then (for the first week) paper towels. The chicks never really encountered it when they were tiny. When they were much bigger there was about 4-5 inches of wood chips. When they began really putting oomph into their scratching and would sometimes get down to the bottom they didn't have any interest in it.

I think I have a 3 inch base of chicken feed under the deep litter pine shavings. :thin the Barn/coop floor. Just saying.
