How did your flock annoy you today?

No Duluth. So comfortable. Flattering. Useful. Hammer loop. 15 pockets I believe. Dirt just wipes off so easily.

Agree 100%!!! Duluth overalls have changed my life for all my chicken and garden work. So pretty, so tough, all those truly useful pockets! And now I have two fancy-print ones I wear into town on errands or to farmers markets, festivals, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, etc. and always get compliments...and they do clean up so easily! My jeans are now just for more "formal" occasions. [Glad to be retired, my beloved overalls wouldn't have been OK for my downtown office job. I'm spoiled rotten now.]

Oh, do you mean literally a particular egg will change color over time?

I thought you meant the birds will lay increasingly lighter eggs through the season

I know at that the last 2 are ones I pulled from the under same hen. I’m fairly sure about 1 other but sigh I’m clueless overall.

Oh, okay. So the hen, each of her eggs gets lighter in color
k I understand
Probably just "running out of ink".
Almost looks like they're changing color

Exactly. Then they get darker then start the lightening process over. I’ll do a better job of taking pics for comparison because not only do her eggs vary like that but also all the eggs from various hens seem to lighten after sitting on the counter for a few days. I think I need more sleep.

My chickens love the RentACoop treat dispenser. I'll fill it with pellets, and they'll spend the day pecking the tubes to dispense a "reward".

I refilled this morning, then watched my d'Uccle systematically empty each tube, leave the pellets on the ground in a pile, then walk away...

Thanks, Poppy.

My "special needs" chicken will sit for hours, if I'd let he, on my shoulder, scratching my neck and pooping on me.
