You talking about me or Lorraine

Oh, you of course...
I was in fact thinking about the hen called Miss Lorraine.

Gorgeous.
Mr. Chips doesn’t have that much green on his chest yet. I wonder if he will as he grows. I gave him a blueberry this morning and he called for the ladies and waited with it in his beak and dropped it at Cookie’s feet.
So I gave him another blueberry and he let Geronimo take it from his beak again.
He didn’t get worked up when I fed the next three blueberries to Piglet who wouldn’t come down because he was standing there.
Blueberries 6 through most of the pot he ate himself.
I am not complaining!
Some of you will have seen this tax photo elsewhere, but it shows where Piglet wouldn’t come down from.

Thank you. Zaccheus was hatched in April 2024, so he's not quite 2. His son, Jacob, was hatched in July 2025. I like how they seem to be sharing guardian duties.

Here is an interesting article about different egg labels ("cage free", etc.) in the USA, scroll down past the advertising links for the article itself:
