MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

Ivy usually lays lots of eggs in a blast too! Now she's started, I'm expecting around 5 this week. She might slow down to 4 the week after.

Phyllis lays 3 in 7 days normally. She was pumping out 5 right after she stopped setting. She slowed down pretty quick though once she started molting but she laid right through her molt.

I have most often discouraged my hens, mostly because two of my broodies get in fights with their flockmates when they are broody and it seems to set them all on edge.
My last broody before winter I let sit the whole time and was particularly worried about how she would reintegrate because she was quite agitated when off the nest if anyone came near her. It was either a non-event or they took care of it when I wasn't watching because one night she was just calmly roosted with everyone like nothing had happened.

Chickens can be very wise.

Not mine mind you, but other people's chickens.

The hens are very noisy this morning! I think there may be more than one egg laid today.
