Yes, all but FussyButt. I haven't seen an egg from her since about three weeks after Griffin went to his new home. Waaay back in about mid May....I think...She's in excellent health. Hasn't slowed down activity wise one bit. She just seems to be taking a vacation from laying. And after all of these years of faithfully producing her egg nearly every single day, winter, spring, summer and fall, I think she has more than earned some time off!
She's becoming such a little princess lately. She has decided that she's too good for sleeping in the coop now. She much prefers her pillow [it actually belongs to the cat!] on top of the washing machine out here in the pump house!
I don't mind really. She's good company in these wee small hours of the night when I can't sleep!
Something tells me she's aiming for becoming the first house chicken in this family!
When, or IF she ever decides to resume laying, then all of my old girls will still be in production. But even if all four were to stop completely and never lay another egg, they'd still be precious to me. They are, after all, my original girls. And I'll cry like a baby, just like I did with Rita, when one by one they join their sisters on the other side.
Kathy, here's hoping that your little broody will be an excellent mama! Since she's an EE, she'll probably be fantastic about it. They're so friendly as it is. One can always hope that her fierceness at anyone who approaches is a good indication of how protective she'll be at raising the chicks. I'll keep my fingers crossed there for ya too!
How many more days do you
think she has to go?
**edited because it's late and I'm getting groggy. Good night y'all!
