caught this pic, then realized I was hearing peeping behind me. One of PITA'S blondies was in the corner.

Those brown/gold faced chocolate/black chicks have quite a color variety....and won't pose at the same time. There's one with cheeks (future beard), one is almost red, one really blonde faced and one rich mocha....I think that's just 4 of those....but....come on, lady! Time to take them on walkabout

That first picture is wonderful. She looks so proud of her little yellow chick.
Please submit for POW.

It depends on how dirty they look, or if it's raining when I collect them. I wash, scrub with a dedicated scrubdaddy, and towel dry them before refrigerating.
I wash every single egg, even store bought before cooking with them. Just a quirk my mom always did too.
Hopefully store bought! Imagine the germs present on those eggs
 
Went out to the coop to check up.

Nellie was in Focus' nest box. While working on completing egg removal, glanced down to see not 1 but 2 black chicks with Focus. Missed a pic of that. Means she has 5 and is nurturing all of them.

I was just going to say that I have lost the plot! I think it is fair to say that they are sharing!
 
2/4 coops are cleaned. I'm overheating so taking a break.

@BY Bob let HRH know we have more beards and cheekypoofs growing here. I've been giving them extra spicy food to help them grow!

The one in front with the blue tail and blue head, I'm keeping my eye on them.

Okay, back to work. Honestly the bad part is wheeling the wheelbarrow up the compost pile to dump it.
