Wow! What a lovely picture of Mr.P showing his inner dragon.
That has to be prize worthy!

In addition to submitting it for a contest - I whole-heartedly vote for her to have that turned into a jugsaw puzzle, that once she has it put together, should frame and put on her wall!

Such a great photo!

Here's some more wings. How did she do this on one leg?

That is not a chicken in a flying backpack. That is a flying chicken wearing a backpack.

I couldn’t do that with the valentines couples picture contest, so how can I possibly do it with the wings up idea?

Penelope is 7 and I am sure she won’t lay anymore eggs, I haven’t seen her lay one since last Fall when I tried hatching that precious one of hers. But I have not seen Mr P interested in her so I am betting she isn’t fertile anymore. Dorothy will be her only chick.

I have not seen Mr P breeding Larry but her back is dirty like he has been planting his feet there so I have hopes. She is 6 this year same as the other of my niece’s hens.

The other day I notices red feathers everywhere and thought they had been scraping, but today when I was trimming butts I noticed that Sharpie is in the midst of going bald with a moult - holy Dinah! I have never seen such a thing! Of course I have never seen such a mild winter either! I am stopping her calcium as I haven’t seen an egg from her in a bit. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen one from Raven or Larry either. Though, Larry does sit in her favourite nest box for a few hours in the morning.

Past couple days I see that Sophia has laid a lovely egg, she will be 6 this year. Blanche also, but I have not seen an egg from her in a while.

Gosh all my ladies are getting so old! Even my original girls Fluffy, Henny and Curly will be 3 along with Marty. I wonder how old silkies generally live. And when they stop laying.

Tomatilla stopped laying and is losing feathers a lot. It's a hard molt but she's catching up. I'm missing one blue egg every day.

Sally is 3 years old, turning 4 this spring, and she still lays an egg every other day. (she is an Isa Brown).

I’m betting that you miss that one blue egg every day !

I still get a blue egg though. Aurora lays one , with white specks.
