Does anyone know if this is something they do when they go broody?? I picked her up off the nest and noticed bare belly... ...View attachment 2081725View attachment 2081726View attachment 2081727View attachment 2081728

Yep. Mine tend to pluck their breast bare. I've told my silly lot they were bought as much for their looks as their eggs & I'm not into chicks but every year I have @ least one bare breasted madam strutting round. It's different to a molt & I find the feathers take longer to grow back.

I'm so thankful for instinct! The babies mom can't roost, she's a silkie so she doesn't fly, but these babies pick up roosting all by themselves.

What a beautiful day! Nice to be @ home in such glorious weather.

Yup, the don't climb on the furniture training of Tap is going really well.
I found her on top the book shelf when I came in this afternoon.
Her and her sister Moon are like chalk and cheese.
Yeah I know it's a bit dusty!

The real question is.... Who was she chatting with on the internet? You need to monitor that girl just like a child.

I had budgies but they passed away

Not chickens.
But they have the best seat in the house just now.

It was amazing yesterday. I spent the whole day looking at it out my office window as I tried to manage another day of emergency COVID projects.

I got out just before sunset.

I did 3 16 hour days this week. So glad Easter is here.
