She's just too beautiful

What is this called, when your hen happily lays next to you and as you pet her, she quickly opens and closes her beak like she’s chewing bubblegum? (I like to call it (Bubble Gumming)?

My budgie used to do the very same thing.

I need a pic of you in your muddy clothes! Please?

I worry about you at times

Thank you.
I haven't seen her eyes since she last moulted though...

Are those chickens very expensive

My sense is it was ten a day, now it's definitely more. There's one pattern I saw when I'd get caught up, five each morning and evening. But now 10- 15 a day, more on weekends or at times. We all want to say something! Sorry @LozzyR, I'm adding right now!

I got some pictures yesterday for tax:

Hazel on lookout as usual. She stands pretty much stock still so is great for photographing.

I have accomplished something in taming Blueberry. She was held back from her group simply at first because my dad liked her colors and wanted to know what she would look like as a adult. Me and Rosie had been eyeballing her since day 1 hoping she was in fact a she and trying to find a way to justify keeping another mix. When he made the comment he thought she was the prettiest one at only 3 weeks old and wanted to know what she would look like as a adult that sealed the deal. Keeping her was his idea, not ours and she would become HIS chicken. We all have our own favorite or special chickens, mine is obviously Drumstick. Mom's is Butter, Rosie's heart belongs to Basil and Raven. Dad has never had a favorite, he likes them all, but has yet to click with one. He came in last night gloating that he'd stolen my chicken. I asked him he meant by that, and apparently for 2 hours Blueberry never left his side. She stayed with him while he let dirt graze after his ride, then when he put dirt up and was grooming him she was either on the top stall board or on Dirt's back talking to him. She then hopped up on his lap before bed and settled in while he and mom were out there just sitting with the horses before coming in. I'm going to smugly let him think he stole my chicken, when in fact His chicken has won him over.

This is just beautiful

Monday mugs.

We are in a snap lockdown again so I easily forget what day it is
Snow with her floppy but jaunty comb

And Belle just being Belle and hoping to hop up on my knee

Sorry Marie, I'm not sure I understand.

She's in my backyard but her puffy hairdo means I can't see her eyes unless I look from underneath. The last time I saw her eyes was when the feathers on top of her head moulted.

When I bought her as a 1 week old chick from my local saddlery she cost around $30 I think.

So embarrassing.

Do you think mrs. Bob will hunt me down sending all those hugs and kisses.

Shhhhhhh. I did not tell her.
