Evening Update On Mrs. Clean-egg

Good news!!
Mrs Clean-egg ate some of the food and chick feed I set out, as well as a few pecks of limestone and oyster shell!
she is now roosting on her makeshift roost made out of a stick.

That’s great, make sure she has sugar water to keep her energy up.

So Many Emotions

I am certain that everyone understands the relief I feel regarding the recent respiratory infection. On Friday I was worried that I was out of the chicken business. Mind I would have been out. I would not have replaced them.

Then the joy of releasing them to be together again yesterday. Combined with the anxiety related to another hen fight.

Today it was sadness. Because today Lady Featherington decided to move up in the pecking order as well. She attacked Betty and Betty backed down and started to flee. Once she started to flee Glynda decided to give chase. When it was over Betty was alone in the far corner of the yard.

Yes, I know this is the way of the chicken. But it still breaks my heart. I even took some corn over to Betty so she had a treat.

Then my heart swelled and warmed up with affection. It was grooming time. Check out this photo. Aurora is standing guard over Betty so she can groom in peace. No one can bother her because Aurora is in the way.

Aurora has driven me nuts at times over the years. There was a time I lived in fear of her taking over this tribe. But more and more I coming to appreciate her as a leader of this tribe.

Oh Aurora!

She looks so lovely in this picture, with her cute comb.
