How did your flock annoy you today?

This reminds me of how I let a friend hold some chicks. Now, I hadn't had a chick poop twice in 30 minutes, but both of them managed to poop on her a total of four times! I hadn't even gotten pooped on that much, she beat me! I also waited for them to poo before giving them to her

My mom came over yesterday for the first time since my chicks moved into their coop. She had also never met my 4 newest yet, even though I've had them for a while now. Well, we went into the coop, and immediately one of the "new" ones, a female porcelain d'Uccle, flew up and landed on her back, right behind her head. My poor mom was terrified the bird would poop in her hair, lol. Thankfully, she does at least love chickens. My daughter removed the chicken from my mom's head, and the rest of the visit was much less eventful. Way to make a big first impression, Bonnie!

Nobody’s laid their first egg. Now I’m paranoid it won’t happen this year because days are getting shorter in the Midwest.

My first to lay did it at the end of November last year. The rest followed throughout winter, with the last one finally laying toward the end of February. When it comes to pullets coming into lay, I don't know if daylight matters as much as when they're laying hens.

That happens with my parrots. Always when someone is wearing nice clothing and just came over to say 'Hi'.... and gets the jackson pollock treatment.

Thank you for the hope! I’m just an anxious lady in general but I get more anxious about each new stage.

I opened my coop today, let everyone out, waited a while and went to check eggs. Only 5 in the nest boxes so I go check the coop because some pullets just drop it wherever. Found Speckles dead. She managed to snap her neck and hang herself on a roosting branch. Considering the scene I have concluded it happened last night at roosting time. And it was quick and quiet because I was outside at that time. Seriously and I thought quail were stupid.
