I haven't shared a photo of one my chickens in here fir a while. How are you all doing? I see some..new..folks..to me..in here. Bob hope all is well with you and yours. Our family got through the holidays..ok..with covid. I finally got it after all these years. Was bound to happen. Took a look at some photo's shared here. Some pretty nice birds. Feel blessed that you can have them and take care of them. Here's a few of mine from the past. I still miss having them. Going to need a full knee replacement this spring. I'm 70 now. Seems like it's one thing after another lately.

Good morning everyone. I finally got time to sit down and catch up from the 100 pages I was behind. The last week has been rough. Grandma is in the middle of a manic episode and is not sleeping....at all. Therefore, me and mom are not sleeping. I sort of solved the pink egg mystery. I have not gotten another one since that one was laid. Friday I decided to see if it was Owly. I kept her and Poppet locked up in the coop. They get along well and neither one has laid a egg. I finally let Owly out this morning. I think the pink egg had to be a rock egg with extra bloom. That leaves me back on Owly egg watch but good news for sis and Rosie who want that blue egg so bad. Sunday one of the leghorns started back laying, the other 3 still are on a break. That is almost a 2 week break for one of the girls and counting today a 15 day break for the other 3. Blueberry is also on a egg break, and will be for a few weeks now. The day the snow melted Blueberry exploded and she is naked. At times I just can't deal with these hens.

Lovely About how long did it take for the young hen’s eggs to start getting bigger?

Thanks, I would say about a month and a half of laying for them to start getting bigger.

Welcome back to FBA! You had some amazing looking birds back then! You must have been a great caretaker of them. I hope your knee replacement goes good in the spring.

Beautiful chooks! You have been blessed.

Knee replacement at 70 is pretty good. Mrs BY Bob has had 3 knee replacements and she is not yet 70.

I’m not sure what might be wrong, but my Coco hasn’t been eating well for a few days. Her crop seems empty. I fed her last night and brought her inside. This morning I took her out to the coop and she took her position on the perches.
Seems Hen-Rietta may have lost her position as Queen of Cluckingham Court.
She wasn’t perched in the same spot she always took. The spot was occupied by Flash, super- byatch!

Maybe entice her with some scratch grain? That makes even my finicky eats have something to eat.
