Lots of camouflage with this group. That's good.

Sure. Her front end caught up with her back end since I last described her. The skin on her face sas salmon pink yesterday instead of baby pink. So perhaps an egg will turn up soon.

This photo was taken from above, so it's not ideal but it shows most of her.

She is so beautiful! thanks for posting a new photo of this beautiful girl.

By the way, definately a she. No signs of cockerel at all. Be patient, eggs are coming.

Mary's trust in me continues to grow. I can get quite close without her getting up, especially if I don't make eye contact and I'm clearly doind something to help her, like providing cooler water. I hope she lets me pat her one day.

It will happen. Patience.

Mary's your Australorp? How old is she? It took quite a while for Charlie to squat for me, and even now she only does it now and again. When I lift her off an egg she gets flappy and panicky, but then when I put her down she lets me stroke her. Hopefully Mary will let you pat her soon, but by the sounds of it she won't ever be a lap-chicken. I'm hoping at least one of my Faverolles will be!

Here's Mary's profile. I think she's 18 months. She was petrified at first, she's come a long way since then. She doesn't squat.

Emily and Penny never squatted. I love when you get a squatter though.

How are you doing MJ?

Yes, I’ve been thinking about you too. Hope you’re holding up ok.
