MJ's little flock

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.

Oh good, it’s not just us that has crap all over the dining table. :rolleyes:
 
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.
Ruffles was a bit like that when she first tried to sit. I used to get her off the nest and this went on for over a week. She did eventually work it out.

Oh! That's interesting. I wonder how many others learn to brood with self-care. If chicks learn so much, I don't see really why grown chickens would stop learning. There's less they need to learn, but why would they stop altogether?

Me too. 😉
