There are many different types of M&M’s. Made in the factory in Hershey PA. (Right @BY Bob )?

M&M Mars is one of Hershey's biggest competitors. M&Ms are NOT made in Hershey, PA.

Wow. The true size of Betty really is a surprise She always looks so much bigger!

That frizzle makes her seem quite large. She looks another 2lbs heavier I think.

Well we know how to answer if she ever asks ‘do these feathers make me look fat?’

Well, don't many societies revere their elders as wise? Hattie is the eldest, now....so it stands to reason she is the wisest. Too bad the others don't learn from their elders!

Dear sweet Hattie...

She is like the anti-Aurora. If she had taken over as alpha hen they would be safe but would have a lot less fun.

In my mind, I always thought (Hershey’s kisses, M&M’s, and chocolate bars) just shows that I don’t read labels sometimes.

Most people don't. I get asked a lot for snickers from the plant.

So lately when I’m weeding, Minnie is right in my way… Like literally has her head directly over the spot I’m pulling weeds out of and is trying to peck at the dirt right at that spot. It’s really pretty darn cute. However, today after work, I noticed she was still hovering around me, but was not very active. I kept an eye on her and could tell she very clearly wasn’t feeling well and she proceeded to get worse. Couple times when I picked her up she had diarrhea on me. Eventually I brought the girls into the run on the early side, because she couldn’t keep up and I thought she wanted to be in, but have her friends around her. I brought a chair out and some wine and took this video.

But then I realized she was straining and shot this quick video… I figured she was either egg bound or had a soft egg or both and ran inside for some calcium.

When I came back out, all the girls were huddled around where she had been. I figured she had dropped a soft egg, as they were eating something off the ground, and she had perked up some. She still clearly doesn’t feel well and I hope she’s going to be OK. I popped the calcium and hope it helps her recover. Poor baby! I will have a look at her vent after they go to bed.
