Hey Marie
The girls are good; thank you for asking
As I said, I do not have much to contribute at the moment; cruising along nicely.
Cilla abruptly cut the cord and dumped Blondie. Blondie is probably regretting strutting around with her Princess Tiara on because now she has been dumped, she is having to repair bridges and make friends with LuLu and Tina way down the bottom of the pecking order!
There will be a collective sigh of relief when Cilla goes broody again and gets locked down to the broody pen; she is currently taking her matriarch role just a tad seriously and will walk up behind LuLu and grab a beak full of tail feathers, because she can! Tina circles around Cilla, giving her a wide berth and poor ole Blondie is still a little confused as to what the h*ll happened! lol
Cilla is still the only layer at the moment; getting 1 egg every day or two. But, commence possible happy dance, I do believe that Blondie semi-squatted yesterday! Tina and LuLu cannot be far behind her .. Dusty? Pffft! Gave up on ever seeing an egg from her again! lol
All my girls have either been timid or quite happy to be picked up, cuddled etc. While LuLu and Blondie are not timid, they are, however, spunky little things who are not afraid to peck you if you are doing something they do not like! Cheeky little munchkins, I am thinking they will be a couple of Broodzillas if/when they go broody
Cilla, on the other hand, gives everyone but me a hard time; she is happy for me to pick her up at any time; lets me look at her eggs, handle chicks etc .. she knows who is the real boss at Bambrook Bantams
