Yummy!!!
I’m still waiting on my first egg from the young girls and Bokky is still keeping the toy wooden one warm most days in the nest

Come on Bokky, hatch that egg! oh dear hens are so funny

I think Ivy is having a moult too. That's a wing feather by her foot. It had only just dropped out.

Most hens will have a light molt after sitting. Mama does every single time. She never has had a full molt.

Your little milk jug gives me great joy every time I see it. It is truly a lovely thing!

I long for the days that I'll be able to sit down and throughly enjoy a true tea.

I'm thinking Bean might end up looking like Mal. Honestly that's why I picked her.

Oh I hope so. I also hope she is as sweet.

It's a very satisfying quality of life thing well worth making 30 minutes for.

That's good to know. Thanks!

Wow. She has loads of purple. The Marans have been more greens and blues....sort of.

Some days she's purple, some days she is green, and some days she is blue. I like to think that it is in reflection of her moods. Let me see if I can find a green or blue.

Well here is Patsy and Lilly both with all the colors at once!

Here's Lilly with blue, green, and purple going again.

If I come across another I will share.

I don't have a preference either way. I find pretty much every chicken appealing. Sometimes the very lean bantam breeds strike me as not very chickeny, but I still like the way they look.

Anyway here are Ivy and Mary in the west wing. Mary is working on an apple core.
