The best part of my work day so far (WFH alone today) has been going out to feed their #Chookesties and see that our Baby (mini wyandotte) has laid an egg after months of being on strike.

And also enjoying all the bulbs peeking out and so many crocuses filling the garden with color.

Someone ran out of toner today. Middle egg should be about the same color as the darker one.

#Chookesties update

Baby was released from #BroodyJail yesterday and seems to be back to normal.

It's been a while since these gals featured here.

They're not really amused by the weather. They only came out of their covered run after they saw me (which means they get some scratch feed and bugs).

Happy to report that miss broody Baby is no longer broody, so we could let her back into the flock.

Which also means Betty and Bonnie are making it into the coop on time before the door auto closes. Since Baby is the night time alarm clock of the family.

Guess who is in broody jail? Again?

A pigeon landed inside #Chookingham open run, their #Chookesties quickly reacted to get the intruder out of their turf.

That was a funny sight of our little Baby (no longer broody, the three days in broody jail worked), Betty & Bonnie, speed up and puff up to get that ugly flying thing off their home.

Tentatively positive that Baby is no longer broody.

She got out (escaped) broody jail yesterday while I was cleaning the run & coop, and behaved normally.

This morning she's out and about doing what chickens do.

#Chookingham now has a broody jail. We split off a couple m² in the closed run (with roof) with wire and put a smaller feeder & water-er.

Baby has been put in Broody Jail, and it is so sad seeing her doing the "I want out of here! I want back in the nest with my (non-existing) babies!"

Hopefully it won't take too long, she's already been broody for two days. (My watch just told me to chill the F)

Their #Chookesties took a week to turn their newly fenced outdoor run into a total wasteland.
