Mow always looks as though she is very busy shopping! Glad to see some new feathers budding on Carbon's bare spot.
About how many days has Ms. Fret been sitting, now?
My hen resembles an Olympian body builder when she does that squat:
Right after the egg dropped my rooster (sitting quietly beside her the entire time) stood up:
You may or may not do this, but washing the eggs and keeping them on the counter/at room temps does shorten their shelf life somewhat. Whereas not washing and refrigerating keeps the eggs fresher, longer.
Glad to know I am not alone in administering occasional goodnight pats and/or "back boops" to roosting chickens. Not sure what they think about the practice, but my rooster tolerates 2-3 boops well:
Little chick is looking good!
Henry looks too happy to care about the classic looks of confusion cast by his attentive side crowd. May we all find something nice to burble about today 🙂
Looks like Mow decided to give Fret some roosting company for the night!
Might there be any jostling or restlessness from the others' nocturnal movements on the roost that she wishes to avoid while nursing that wound? 🤔
The apple blossom is lovely!
