MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

I have some teapots and an enormous amount of tea to show off. The problem is finding an empty spot on the dining table...

That is restricting me as well. The dining room table is full of chicken stuff, feed, treats, eggs, etc. And summer stuff that needs swapped for winter stuff. It's a mess.

Janet hopped up for a photo shoot! First time ever. You know, now that two of her hens are sitting most of the day, she's really calmed down and our friendship is deepening

Who knew that hens would mentor each other? That's brilliant!
Thanks for sharing MJ. I'm learning so much from you and everyone and their flocks!

I must say, I never knew that. It’s amazing!

A little. The important thing is that Mary has shown Ivy that she's supposed to get up once a day for self-care. The lesson has really taken hold and I no longer need to get Ivy off the nest for her own good.

It's incredible how they relearn these things. The drive to do it is in there somewhere in every hen.

We won't bug you about the clutter.

Good evening everyone


Janet is looking lovely and I love that she did a photo shoot for you ❤

I've been very touched by the trust she's been showing me.

She is beautiful!

Even though she's lived here the longest, she's usually so busy keeping others in line that I can't take good photos of her. So the byc community doesn't get to see her very often.

I think Shad's right, her instinct was there all along but her hormones prevented her from listening to it. Mary is a more seasoned hen and knew what to do. Watching her helped Ivy put her instinct into action.

For me, it's a relief to know Ivy's got it worked out now.

That's what I think too. Seeing Mary do it the right way gave Ivy the chance to put instinct into action.

As it should be, Bob! (Keeping important things, in perspective)!
