When LF stands for "loves fig newtons"

[Chickassan]

Question? Rene is now officially my smallest girl, it was Hobo but that was when I thought much more chicken was on the way. My rooster is LF and has noticed she has matured.
Do you guys think that will be a problem? Iv'e seen the act, seems as normal as it can be but i'm still worried she's already short enough! I wasn't prepared for this particular scenerio at all so i'm having to ask some fairly dumb questions. She acts like a normal randy hen so it isn't like he's out of line, it is just unsettling to watch her "dissapear".

Have read of many LF males mounting bantam females without harm...
...one of the males just stood on the ground
You'll have to keep an eye on them and make sure his technique is appropriate for her size.

That is what I figured, seems o.k not graceful by any stretch and still in that phase where the older hens want to run over and peck her in the head.
Aside from her size normal chicken shenanigans.
Going to take some adjustment for myself though, wasn't planning on a molehill in a sea of mountains.

Had to be that way, you'll never know a thing unless you ask.

Biggest egg so far out of her this morning a jumbo 45grams. She's also bucking up to the top hen which is just crazy. I can't do a thing about that, i'm not interfering in the politics of hens.

Must be the mighty FN's!!

Really might be. Had to divide up a few strawberry newtons instead yesterday. I might have bumped up egg size and fried her brain at the same time.
