Bunny gave me grief last night. I did not get out to round everyone up until right at dark due to having to fix dinner. I found everyone, except Bunny and Twig and George. I'm looking everywhere and can not find them. I decided to take a break from searching for a second to put Gryffon the cochin who is once again broody outside of Russ's stall up when I hear a peep. I start looking and do not see them. I hear a peep again and this time I spot her. She had bedded down in the corner of his stall and Russ had completely covered her over except her comb with hay. I also think Russ wanted them to stay there because when I bent over to retrieve them he headbutted me in the back and sent me head first into one of the stall boards. A lot of cursing was aimed at both Bunny and Russ and I have a bump on my head but they were scooped up and put in the coop. Where has she and the chicks spent the majority of the day so far, in that same corner of the stall.
Darn tootin horses and chickens 😆

Always causing some sort of drama!

I get fits when I see Marty crawling under my thoroughbred mare to pick up the fees that mare slobbers around. Not sure what I would do if I had chicks mixed in!!
 
I got my second Shell less, I'm not sure who this time.
Last time it was Shirina. I'll keep an eye on it, but so far I'm not terribly concerned unless it becomes a pattern.
Blanche has been laying soft shelled and paper thin brittle shelled eggs for a few months now... She is eating drinking running around, doing normal Chickie things. So for now I am not too worried.
 
Do you know breeds or are they bitsas? Adorable.
Here's what I was told, who knows if it's all correct. RIR, True Blue, Sapphire Gem, Rainbow. Some of these I hadn't heard of, but I thought I'd get one of each to see how they compared and if there is a standout among them. I'll label them properly in their formal introduction when they get names. I truly was not going to get new chickens until next year at the earliest, but current uncertain circumstances kind of pushed up the timetable. It also made it so that I had to take whatever breeds were available right now in my area.

I am so happy you did get them. They will have such an awesome home with you.

Do I remember correctly, you gave your last hen away?
