Right...rooster, who needs a rooster...I got this...poor guy wouldn't stand a chance...I think they'd beat one up for impertinence!They've got things pretty well sorted between themselves. I'm pretty sure Wrold is convinced she can will those eggs into fertility.
; one lady brought beetroot relish [gorgeous on smashed avo toast!] & today, along with an empty egg carton in our post box, I found a home made candle [coconut & mango]
People are funny.
I have a surplus of eggs.
I give those eggs away up & down the street rather than waste them or throw them out.
I don't ask for anything back except the empty egg cartons so I can reuse them until they fall apart. Sometimes I have absolute hordes of cartons. Other times nothing @ all but people are funny about receiving something for nothing & I get back odd things: One chappie makes his own icecream, saves the egg whites then makes us a pav. Yum! Once it was the most glorious fudge! Homemade cordial, blueberry muffins, relish. This week we have been promised a pav

Meanwhile those responsible for such bounty were mixing it up on the roost.
Lavender is in solitary.
Beathag, without Mhari , is very much on her own & my BR, Hepzibah, was making it plain she wasn't welcome on the top roost. Down she came, disconsolate. I grabbed her & shoved her between Ha'penny & Luna because Luna is kind & though Ha'penny isn't above the odd peck she really isn't all that fazed. With a comb like that who is she to be casting aspersions?!

Luna had Wrold, who hopefully has reconsidered her broody status, under the other wing.
Alpia had tucked herself in with the Campines & out of Patricia's pecking reach.
Everybody was calm & settled when I vacated the coop & all tucked up together ~ which is how I like it.

It seems to be more of a shared nesting area than nesting boxes.This morning's laying line~up.
Four eggs under Lavender so she had 3 lots of company in that box!
And hogged all the eggs!
I suspect Ha'penny of secreting eggs somewhere again too.I haven't seen one from her in a few days.
They are outrageous!

They are a community. They share everything including the joy of hatching!Tell me about it!The broody breeds I sort of expect ~ though mine are pretty chronic ~ but what's with the others?
That's how I like it as well.People are funny.

There is no hatching happening here, Bob!
I'm sorry, Bob. They were being a bit naughty last night & I was so happy when everyone settled down & behaved.That's how I like it as well.
