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.

Baby of the famous #Chookesties of #Chookingham is back in #BroodyJail
It seems that any time the temperatures go too much up, she gets #Broody
#Chookesties update
Baby was released from #BroodyJail yesterday and seems to be back to normal.

Miss Baby is back in Broody Jail.
I had noticed she had spent about 2h in the nest already, so I went to check, she did the grrr-cluck-cluck so I gently took her out of the nest. She walked a bit, jumped on the log when I went back inside, and 10 minutes later was back in the nest. So I prepared her jail with food & water and sight on her sisters from another mother.
Last time she was in Broody Jail was in November 🙄

So, summer time started today.
I am feeling ok, not much trouble with it.
Bonnie, one of our hens, however, got super confused and was standing on the stairs to the coop in front of a closed door when I went out to close their feeder...

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.
