I'm sorry I did not communicate that very well. Hens will definitely co-sit a nest.

In this particular instance, most people would not realize this but those two hens in particular, Peggy and Ivy are not necessarily best friends. That was the origin of my comment.

Weellll, that splains it better! Thanks. Self preservation takes precedence over minor squabbles I guess

I guess so. This is proof.

Ludwig, the 7-month Black Langshan cockerel, doesn't have a bad side.

I'm pretty sure that the cropping tool I used didn't distort his proportions. He really does have that incredible fan of tail.

Here's the original:

OMG I just looked closely at your avatar.. Is that a chicken growing out of another chicken's head? Talk about a two headed monster!

I don't know about that, Here's Snowflake left and Muffins (EEs) right sitting on a pile of eggs.View attachment 2960279

They look like they have Brahma? Am I wrong? If I didn’t see that beard, I would have considered them Brahmas.

 

[CSolis]

Yes indeed they have Brahma in them, One laid blue eggs, the other close to pink.

Two best friends on an evening stroll

View attachment 2960102

This is my alpha hen Lilly, on the right, and Sansa a GLW and former number 4 in my flock on the left. They were the best of friends from the moment Sansa arrived in Feb of 2020. They were never apart. Lilly even helped her to find the best nesting spots (Lilly only lays 1 or 2 eggs a year now). I say this so everyone appreciates how close they were.

This photo is special to me because this is how I will always remember Sansa in my mind. They were just chatting away this day as the sun set, strolling along without a care in the world.

Sansa passed away on New Years Eve. They did not even have 2 years together. It cannot be easy to be the oldest hen in flock. Lilly has seen so many come and go but I'm certain none as terrible a loss as her best friend forever, Sansa.

I'm so sorry for your's and Lilly's loss. It is a beautiful, and touching photo, even more so, knowing the back story.

Thank you. I felt context was needed to be able to share the feelings it evokes in me.

It's been called a chicken with a chicken hat. it was such a happy accident that Daisy was behind Elphie that day. I could not align it like that if I wanted.

Must have been quite the shock to "Mom" when "baby" got WAY big!
