I really hope Xzit's lone egg hatches. He's had too many losses recently and I feel it would be great comfort to have a little Jaffar running around even if it does not look like him.

Xzit isn’t even a year old yet. I’m not sure if she knows much about being broody. She’s on her egg today though
Do not let age fool you. Holly, Bunny, Baby, Raven, Clover, all went broody before 8 months old for the first time. All have proven themselves to be excellent and trusted mothers.

I thought you got her in February last year....
Jess just turned a year end of May. If she's serious about being broody, Xzit will figure it out.
Hi, guys. Remember two summers ago when I gouged my sclera (white part of the eye) while cleaning out a giant brush pile? Well, yesterday Lucky pecked me in the other eye. It hurt, but I went about my business. As the day went on, however, it got a little worse. I had some leftover erythromycin ointment from the first injury so use that a couple times and wore a patch to sleep in. Well, this morning it was swollen, pink and sore so I sought medical attention. Yep! I have a corneal abrasion. What’s with me and eye injuries?
(if you look closely, you can see my eyes are still dilated from the ophthalmology appointment.)
Tax (the culprit)

Time flies fast I guess!
Ouch, that sounds painful. Bad chicken for doing that. This is actually one of the few fears I have with my flock. I have a freckle on me cheek about a inch away from my eye. While they will peck the few freckles on my arm occasionally for the most part they ignore that one. Except for the hooligans. 3 of them show keen interest and have tried to go for that one. They get a look about them when they spot it and most times I can back or lean away quick enough before they go for it. One of these days though when I am being mobbed for their attention I'm either going to be too slow or their aim is going to be off and it will eventually happen.
