That looks encouraging MJ.
Did you keep chickens in Norway @Martaals ?Oh I'm sure they are as happy as they can be! I live in the city too, but coming from the north of norway I wouldn't say there's anything natural about the citylife - I still prefer it for practical reasons though
White fluff always seems to look fluffier on chickens.
Now I know next to nothing about introducing new hens to an existing all female flock.I am considering that. I may also bring in 3 and go to 6. Based upon my observations, they pair off when allowed to free range. 6 might be more than my yard could survive though. 6 is the maximum I would have in the coop because of the need to lock them up in the winter sometimes like they are now.
It's hard. I was planning to let Maleficent set a nest if she wanted and add to the flock that way. That is out now, obviously.
I'm also afraid to adjust my numbers and then have Lilly pass on. She is no spring chicken.
I'm completely undecided on what to do right now but I am concerned long term for Aurora. They have to be with her now, locked up and all. But I saw how lonely Lilly would get when Daisy, TGHE, and Patsy would go off on their own. I've had 3, 4 is better.
That's the thin end of the wedge if ever I saw it.Oh my she is quite fluffy!!!
I brought Stanley into the house last night. His butt is not very fluffy...LOL
