Good morning Folks

Hey there, Bob. Having a good week?

 

[Ribh]

The lad was netting last night. He put in something like 16 hours so it was just the man & I for tea. We decided on scrambled eggs.
That's 2 Araucana [Mhari's is the smallest one], Patricia & Hepzibah. I just loved the rich golden colour when I cracked the eggs.!

Hey there, Bob. Having a good week?

So far, so good. Going to have a short day tomorrow so that's good. Love the color of your yolks. We grow the best eggs. Soooooo many people have no idea what a good egg is.

These two seem to have made up. Fat Bird has not been Cillin friendly the past few days. A lot to do with him following Fudge about like a dog on a lead. Fudge is laying eggs while of course Fat Bird isn't really. She even left the coop with him this morning rather than waiting for a lift.

THE BAR OF SHAME.
Beatha, Patricia & Lavender were exiled to the lower bar last night.

Medh & Aoife had a dispute & Aoife pecked Medh off the top rail so she was condemned to the rail of shame for the night too. Other end. On her own.
Now she is laying Aoife is really starting to throw her weight around. She is very funny because she has no real designs on leadership. It's just that now she can.

There were no hard feelings this morning.
They were all milling round after the dinner scraps.

So true! My mother does not like chickens but she loves our eggs & always asks any one visiting to bring her up a dozen or so.

Our eggs go through phases, spring, summer, fall, winter... They actually teach this in chef's school.

The social dynamics of chicken lives are endlessly fascinating. I'll never work my lot out but they are good fun.

Do they change in some way seasonally, Bob?

They are richer in spring - fall and less in winter. It has to do with available grass and bugs. Of course, that does assume snow in winter.
