MJ's little flock

[RoyalChick]

I'm thrilled with how good the pullets were about roosting in the henhouse and as for the blue egg... Words fail me. So unexpected!

So happy for you!

Good evening everyone

I hope you get the rest you need, Sue.

I am Thank you

Two HUGE announcements

First one. The pullets showed almost no interest in roosting in the little coop. They tried hard to get past the hens into the henhouse and eventually suceeded. Although in this very moment I can hear someone being pecked... Probably Peggy because she sandwiched herself between Mary and Janet. I think that's her best move in the circumstances. Janet is between Peggy and Sandy the Enforcer.

Ivy used the gift of flight to roost way up high on the rafter. It's not going to be comfy for her feet, but there's no pecking up there at all. Smart girl. I'll put padding around the rafter tomorrow.

It's a little egg!! And it's so blue! It looks grey in that photo, but it's blue blue blue!! Hooray!

I don't know which pullet laid it. Maybe Peggy. She seems older and Ivy is obviously still getting bigger every day.

So much for being 13 weeks old when I picked them up two weeks ago, crikey.

That is great news

You have done so good with them. Congratulations! And a blue egg without even trying to get coloured ones. Just amazing.

I am so proud of you and the little ladies. I love that Ivy. She is truly a bird. 🕊

byBob will be so envious when he sees!

I have not words. Without even trying she gets a blue egg. I've done something wrong sometime in my life that I am paying for in brown eggs.

I know, I feel absurdly guilty.

Good! You should.

No snow here, just pouring rain. It is snowing 90 miles west of here. if it was snowing here we would be measuring this in feet.

I woke up this morning wishing it were snow instead of rain. I'm in great need of a paid snow day!

There is a tornado on the ground about 60 miles from here. It's going to be a wild and woolly weather day before all is said and done. How about some rain for my friends in Australia?
