Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

[Wishing4Wings]

Oooooo, roosting squabbles make me mad too. Some take it too far. My white Leghorn, the top dog, was standing on a lower perch, where she never sleeps, whacking the lowliest pullet on the head over and over. I must have watched for close to a minute, and she never stopped. Whack! Whack! Whack!. Couldn't stand it and pulled her off the roost and threw her in the run. It was getting dark so she went back in and found her place on the upper roost and settled down. She's also been a bully in the yard, chasing lower pullets down and pecking them long after they'd given way. She even mounts the BO to show dominance.

Well, after that little show of unnecessary violence, she went to reeducation camp. Solitary confinement for a week.
Bad Biscuit



Happy to say, it worked. Pecking order readjusted in her absence, and Biscuit is much calmer now that she's back with the mob.



Oh, and guess who took over as queen of the coop.




Was there any doubt?

Spot is definitely dominant, but without the brutality.

5 a day lately.

 

[Chaneys Ranch]

Raining all day. There's nothing to do.
We're stuck in the run. We eat. We poo.

We're getting so bored. Raining all day.
Nothing to do, so we might as well lay.

We laid six eggs today!
Including the 5th lovely little Wellie egg!

Happy me.

Well, here it is. Kay and Bev are BR, named after my two friends, 1 BA named Aussie, 5 RIR-Lucy,Ethel,Martha,Tote,Wavie, 2-lace wyandottes-Gladys and Ricco. 3 extremely spoiled dogs, Otis, Luke and Charlie who think we survive because of them. One extremely tired(of catering to me and my girls) DH. He has put around $700 plus into this chicken adventure and just bought a used dog kennel to expand the chic yard for me. He's somethin!! I told him our 43rd ann. is coming up and that is what we both need for our girls to enjoy and have more fun with more room, he bought it used for $50 and already has it set up for staking in. They don't make em like that anymore! I also have 2 grandsons and one daughter living here with us. The whole chicken thing came up because the youngest grandson (11) wanted to raise chickens and sell the eggs. Well after the coop got built and all the hubub stopped, he forgot they were here, so in comes "Momo and Papa to the rescue of these cute, cuddlie little girls. He occasionally goes to check or feed or collect eggs once in a while, with being told to. Oh well, what else do we have to do? I work 4 days a week as a chef at a Winery and my DH is retired, so there ya go! Roger is contacting my Bev with underground contacts coming in through the coop somehow, she used to be so loveable sitting on my lap and jumping on my arm, well, now all of the sudden she doesn't give me the time of day. She thinks her eggs are the Bestest in the Coop, and gotten a swollen ego. I usually get 7-9 eggs a day and on the 9 days I swear its her holding out. What can you do? Just like grandkids, love em anyway.

Hi gainke10, I'd say that's a keeper but you already know that! Hehe, Roger knows how to text - sneaky girl she is...tellin ya, watch the cell phone early mornings...

well, we should just make all the above into new holidays, and with SCRATCH and ORLOFF, that gives us 12 new holidays so far (13 if we count that first one)
so...one for each month of the year!
