Picture thread of my hens!

It's Bella's birthday today! Yous are probably wondering where the CLB comes into all of this as I have always said Bella's mother is the Orpington. Well Bella's egg was under her mother, but her mother got a chick and my broody CLB's eggs were all infertile, so I put a pipping Bella in with her. Once Bella had hatched, I moved them into a shed together and they accepted each others chicks and raised them together. Bella's CLB mother was taken by a Buzzard, so thats why you don't see anything of her now. But anyways, Bella hatched with me and now Bella is mothering her own chick! Will be taking her some mealworms up today! She has also nearly made a full recovery from her dog attack!

Bella only got into one fight on her birthday! She was aiming for her enemy but accidentally hit one of the top hens in the process, so it ended up being her haha!

Daisy wasn't happy when Dolly didn't let her share the nest box!

I guess there is drama even in chicken paradise. I suppose chickens need a little excitement in their lives, too.

I'm a bit confused though. What happened happened when Bella hit the top hen?

Well as you can guess, the top hens are the top hens for a reason. Bella pecked her and they both lifted their heads up and Bella must have thought "you will do" and bigged up to her and then the hen flapped at her and give her a good pull on the comb and then chased her off! She was one of the worst hens Bella could have chose haha! And Bella's always getting herself into fights. Its more shocking when she doesn't to be honest!
 
"the views nice isn't it?"

Dorothy still insists on laying in the soaked hidden nest instead of the fresh straw in the nest boxes!
