MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

Hello @MaryJanet @BY Bob @Grammy60 @rjohns39

I'm so pleased with Mary today

Hello Marie.

 

[Lexicon]

Determined young lady.

Yes, she certainly is!
She always chooses the favourite nest, of course!
Luckily the others are slowing down on their laying as winter approaches or there would be even more drama!

 

[MaryJanet]

You can always separate a broody like I had to do with poor Phyllis.

With the scattered nests it will be easy to put a temporary fence around her.

@MaryJanet

Thank goodness for this thread.

I've decided I love you for today

Okaaaay

Broodies are all part of the chickening lifestyle and I love them

But they do upset a flock's harmony

Why?

For pointing me in the right direction, and not only today that was my humour.
You are guiding me and i truly appreciate this and same said for my little girls.

To be honest, I admire their determination and tenacity even though they sometimes drive me a little crazy!
One of my hens actually pushed open a full sized swinging door to get back to her nest of one infertile golf ball!

Did you get to the part where three adult hens fought with Ivy at the same time? It might help you see that fights are what chickens do with new friends and it's our responsibility to allow that to happen. It might put your mind at ease.

Good evening folks
