That is one lovely butt. Amazing!

I'm pretty sure folks would instinctively disregard the lockdown if they encountered life-threatening risks.

"Sorry, you'll just have to axe murder me because there's a lockdown" said no one ever

Unless it was your "intimate partner", wouldn't the Axe Murderer get in trouble for breaking lockdown?

I always wonder, if these chickens appreciate their fluffy butts, being advertised world wide? (Your hen is exceptionally beautiful by the way) but my question still remains.

Well they get no say so sad for them but great for us!

Well done! I love the doubles and I love that they are out in the tall grass. Great photos!

I think they are already scofflaws so one more probably doesn't matter to them. Just a guess.

Today I can report I heard the escort song from somebody, it was great to hear! Queenie was the only one to regularly call, and I was afraid I wouldn't hear it again since she died. I can't imagine being tired of it! But I'm piping up here to add this bit of information - about these theories of whether anybody is around or not being the reason for the call - this happened when they were locked in their coop & little 9x3 run. There's really no place for anyone to disappear to. Except - maybe the caller was up at the coop threshold / ladder top and everybody else was directly under the coop where they couldn't be seen, and quiet as a mouse. I mean, they would be within two feet of her under there. I will check next time. The song didn't last very long.

Well, the only hen to use the escort call in my tribe is Edwina. I've seen her use it when the other girls are right there not 2 feet behind her.
I've seen her use it when she opens the treadle feeder and tries to sing with her head in the trough. Talk about an echo chamber.

I suspect that Edwina is not the sharpest tool in the shed...

OMG! the road runners are so fluffy! They look like those tennis frilly pants people wore under their tennis skirts in the 70's

May I just say ... what a stunning behind! And I mean that in a non-creepy way.
