Mother Nature put on a sky show here tonight. The weather is clearing after another day filled with rain. Here's the end of the rain coming through right before sundown.

Add the rain reached the house, the sun broke through and illuminated the trees, then the double rainbow showed up. I hope you can see it in these photos. There second rainbow is faint.

You should see Shad's stuff if you haven't already! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/shadrachs-lamps.1272460/

I have seen Shad's work. AWESOME lamps.

How is Grammy holding up? Tired I bet!

My broodies have completely lost the plot.
This is what I found this morning.
There are no eggs under either of them!

The shouting I had today from the Salmons; the nest sitting/hogging (“I want that one and she’s in it!”) and no eggs from either of them!

 

[LozzyR]

No ~ but it will broaden your education to gross things like jam roly~poly, bread & butter pudding, tapioca, squabs, potted meat & spotted dick...

What about jellied eels?

 

[LozzyR]

Squabs, from my reading, are tiny fish fried & eaten whole: bones, scales, fins & all. So totally gross!

Isn’t that the same with anchovies?

The girls started early this morning with what I call their *whingey* voices.
Luna & Ha'penny were particularly... vocal.
Mhari was bok~bokking pathetically in the little coop.

Given our weather I let everyone into the run early.
The only one who didn't stay there was Ha'penny.
She was so noisy I went out to see what was going on to find her screaming about the shut gate [to keep Mhari away from the nesting boxes] so I let her in & left her screaming blue murder about everyone else being in the run. We got about 10 minutes peace when she finally went to lay her egg then she was back @ it & most of the flock joined in. The neighbours must have loved it ~ but then they always have yappy dogs & my girls are usually fairly quiet.

Even dinner was a noisy affair.

There are 4 feeding stations & you would think that would be enough for everybody but once Wrold & Morrigu have actually climbed into a tub there's no room for anybody else!
Ha'penny has taken to trying to scratch the crumble out of my hand ~ which is terribly funny to watch because my hand is quite high & her foot is waggling round in thin air.

They are still at it. I don't know what's stuck in their craw today but they are complaining about it. A lot!​

I wouldn't know. I don't do any sort of seafood.

One of my RIR girls really tells me off if I open the nesting box door while she's in there... I need to get a video!

I’m wondering if the broody trill is the hen saying “Go away!”? I heard Charlie trill at Tegan when she entered the house at bedtime and she’s not broody at the moment.
