- Egg-laying Jette pecking the others, asserting her dominance
- Old Henna and Cleo the Runt too weak and scared
- Separating Jette to let the others heal

🐔 It's been a while, so here's another #chicken update!

TL;DR
- Rehomed Jette to a bigger group down the street
- Cleo and Henna were both laying eggs, yay!
- Cleo finally grew up and started to attack Henna
- When we couldn't separate them last weekend, Cleo won the pecking war, and Henna ended up with a bloody comb. Neither of them has laid since, due to the stress.
- PLOT TWIST: We will add four new #hens on Saturday! Hopefully, this will ease the tension for the hens.

👉 More detailed ramblings in the comments.


Photos:
1. My darling Henna last Sunday. The black stuff on her comb is dried blood. I captured her mid-drink, that's why her neck is a bit wet.
2. Jette making first contact in her new group.

Some pictures just fall in your lap. A bag of "Granulated chicken manure" in a niche on a red brick wall. It's the three chickens on the bag that create the magic. Their casual posing. Their laid-back decorum.

Looks like a watercolour original - could be digital of course, but still a small, humble piece of art in its own way.

Hens are not egg-laying machines. 🐔 We have bred them to overproduce, which can lead to stress and health problems. 💔 Say NO to eggs 🚫 #eggs #hens #chickens
