Did you put Phyllis into The Cluckle Hut again Bob?

Now for the chook challenge: We call it “the waiting game” waiting for our last contestant to get back into the coop! We play this game every night.
(this game host is tired, so I hope they hurry up)

My goodness! This thread is a full time job!
@BY Bob
the babies are so precious and I love how happy you are with them perching/roosting on you I also understand the hardship of moving them out into the Cuckle Hut.

@micstrachan
my love! Please know all you have done for Ruby was not in vain. You gave her so many extra days of happy chicken life

@rural mouse
You've persisted! I literally could not wait to read through everything before jumping in...I made it through like 100 or so pages. Now we know who the dedicated one is!

@Marie2020
So incredibly happy about the integration! Good on you!

@Shadrach
Loving the updates on the new crew. Have said it multiple times now, but my goodness I am so happy for you and the birds. What an amazing match

@Ribh
I love reading your flock experiences and how happy they all are. Sometimes perfection can't be mapped out

@RoyalChick @MaryJanet @RebeccaBoyd @Aussie-Chookmum @LozzyR
All of you always add so much good...information, humor...everything! Thank you ❤

I know there are so many more of you that made me fall behind contributed to this amazing thread, and I thank you! This is the best place on BY chickens! Love to you all.

I have video I will post later.

Sylvia's do looks like it is starting to fill in! Still smaller than Legertha's, but getting noticeably bigger!! Did I hear stains of 'Dancing Queen" just now? They are really rocking the do's

This is also a great photo showing off their 'candy corn' plumage!

I think Sylvie’s ‘do’ is like she plugged herself into the electric outlet - standing up on end. I am totally taken with it!
I am also loving the candy corn colors coming in. Very pretty!

Like I said, I don't know of this particular breed but any hen laying 300+ eggs a year is a high producer & most breeds of this nature have a short life expectancy. Firstly they are usually bred to be culled by their 2nd year when egg production starts dropping off & before all the really nasties start happening. My ISAs, which were among the very 1st chickens I ever owned & a high production hen, were rescues & dropped like flies after about 6 months. 2ndly they are prone to reproductive issues & all the associated proplems. I swore I'd never do them again. It was heartbreaking & I didn't want to contribute to the abuse of such lovely hens ~ because they too are very sweet natured.

I second this; my ISAs were sweet and friendly, especially Chickie who was so laid back she needed a sun-roof!

Nothing like a fluffy bottom in the face, 'eh, Bob? That vid is just so sweet...I think I hear a little John Paul Young in the background of that video????

I think Phyllis was hoping there was something good in your coffee mug...@BYBob, AKA the good providing Roo...always has something yummy for us!
