There is a chick sheltering under her breast. The long stripes are the chick's rear end.

Two of today's escape artists: Lottie & Patricia. Suyin had already hopped down & Hepzibah was meandering over in her own time.

This is Soda. Yes; she's a big, big girl.
She was the youngest of my 1st pullet buy & I've always said she suffers from youngest child syndrome. She's always been playing catch~ups.
When we lost the Australorps, Hepzibah should have slotted into the lead chook role & for a while she reluctantly sort of tried but by nature she is something of an independent loner Being Big Boss really wasn't her thing so Soda took on the job. She & Hepzibah run together but they tolerate the Favorelles pretty well. It's the Campines who get up everyone's snoz. They are hit & run experts. Soda doesn't usually go broody; she just goes out in sympathy with her sister to keep her company.
They are big calm girls who aren't fazed by much.
And all the girls pigging dinner. They always seem to upend heaps of it in the dirt but they all prefer the open tubs to the treadle feeder.

Chickie was out from under mumma this afternoon.
And this is why even my cats don't tangle with an angy curlew.

It's mostly for show. Lots of hissing & spread wings but they aren't really aggressive.
Patricia has matured into a lovely hen.

Yes. I will be interested to see what happens after her molt. The breeder thought there was a chance her proper feathering might grow in. She's a BR so would be stunning.
We'll need to see photos after her molt
It's because everyone has animals and farms/work to do during the day.
