Happy 4th everyone! Just thought I'd share this since my mixed breeds are coming into their own, not all laying yet. The Black Star is by far the toughest of mine...she's healing well after the hawk scalping. And, surprisingly enough, my RIR x Golden Laced Wyandotte has become quite the pet hen. She comes out of the run every time she hears me outside and, if I go in too early to put them up, she perches on my arm and I have to put her in the coop. She's a darling hen! Even tolerates our GS pups chasing her to be close!

Great to hear the black star is making a good recovery. Have you put her back with the rest of the flock yet?

Not yet. I tried reintroducing her to Sasifras in the yard but Sassy went straight for her head wound. It's still two-thirds open. I know they'll peck but was hoping to see her go for a tail feather or something other than her head. She probably won't be ready for a few months or, possibly, until after the fall molting. I doubt she'll start laying until then either. Does anyone think there's a chance she could become egg-bound if she hasn't laid the first egg but has been stressed?? Didn't think of that till now. I just assumed her body wouldn't produce any until she's comfortable again.
 
mine are at least going broody one at a time. They get to go into the garden chicken tractor. Total isolation, well except that I have four cockerels from the Australorp over leghorn cross running the yard. They wouldn't let any of the pullets get to the feeder when I would fill it, before they had their fill, so they got to go outside. They're running free range in the yard for the last week and a half, settling in under the coop at night, and during the day, they go out and walk around the chicken tractor in the garden and torment the broody wannabe. In other words, typical adolescent males bhahahaha

on another note, I got the first tiny egg from my MFD's today! good grief, what in the world will I do with these tiny things? Although I think I could market them to McDonalds, because that's about the size they put on the egg mcmuffins.................................................
