Hospice is honestly a great tool. Experienced it a few times with relatives and they appreciated the extra care.

Appreciating Samara actually coming over and wanting attention, even if it's because she thinks I'm the rooster. Morinth came over for some pets this morning too, maybe she'll be next?

Kasumi is a brat and has taken up biting. I poke her with my finger every time to hopefully remind her that she isn't the boss, but we'll see.
They ate almost all of the eggshells yesterday. I just hard boiled 9 today, I'll let the shells dry a bit before I crush them and bring them out. Guess I need to ask around for empty eggshells!

Gosh they are lovely Can’t wait to see the egg colour!

 

[Ponypoor]

That should help. I would give her a couple of eggs to get settled before you start to be concerned.

None so far today… that I know of!

I love all the suggestions - they are all awesome songs taking me down memory lane, some good memories some sad, but all the same all great

Thanks Phyllis and Bob - good job!

You folks selected the songs. Phyllis chose what she liked and I tried to come up with an order that worked.

You know one song I was going say and forgot….

The chicken Dance Polka

Everybody get up and dance

No way Phyllis ever dances to that.

There’s no one here on the office right now so I will blast out some stuff f those tunes

My song for Phyllis

That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

And what does HRH Aurora think of Phyllis (a non-chicken supposedly) being the centre of said attention?

She hates it. Not a fan. She doesn't understand all the fuss at all.

Have you provided oyster shell too? There's an article that was mentioned here on FBA recently (by @bgmathteach ?) about the metabolic differences between oyster shell and real eggshells...oyster shell will provide a long-metabolizing source of calcium whereas eggshells are quickly metabolized and then gone, so the oyster shell will help even out the supply of calcium they need as they form shells. That's my layman's recall of the gist of it.
