My chickens are all mad. Nutters the lot of them.
I let everybody into the run yesterday. Wrold & Mhari congregated @ the shut coop door begging to be let @ the nesting boxes.
All the big coop girls swarmed into the little coop to polish of the left over food even though there was still plenty in their feeder!
Mhari made a dash for the nesting box when I let Hepzibah in to lay & promptly got put back in jail. Beatha got trapped in there with her & Suyin got put back in jail because she didn't roost but slept in a nesting box ~ which is craziness because she roosted in the little coop & the rail is terrible. Wrold went back in the big coop & was roosting when I checked everyone last night.

I think you are correct. Nutters.

Not sure, give me a little time and I shall think of something

Good morning folks


Let's see... Lifting more than we should, wondering about without our cane, thinking about climbing a step stool when not allowed... She's a handful.

I have felt your pain. I loved her for every challenge she presented. She is still full of mischief.

Yes, I am! Especially since I chose randomly from 3, just asked for

They are adorable. You are fortunate to have a good rooster. They make free ranging so much so much better for everyone.

the biggest Roo, since I knew I wouldn't be able to keep them cooped up. I didn't expect 15 additions so soon, though . I don't know ANYTHING about chickens, am winging it... .

Thank you!

Well, after an hour of faffing around in the nesting box Deana laid another egg unassisted! which is a great relief. She must have seen me coming out with the lube and syringe and thought she'd better get on with it.

So from the left it's Tsuki's egg, the first one Deana laid on Tuesday and finally today's effort.

What a weird shape! I would have issues, too, laying eggs like this.

How?

I love the happy clucking!!

My layer flock is in a coop that is underneath my house. There are many mornings I can here them singing away and crowing while I'm making breakfast.
