Day 348.

Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: three-quarters full. Weather: cold again, brrr.

I made sure to mention the EGG I laid and how I love laying EGGS and how I’ve got plenty more EGGS in me yet to the other hens, especially Brian. I know she’s planning something but I’m not ready to let go of my place in the pecking order just yet.

Jack’s spending more time with Ella than anyone (except Ella) is happy with. We reminded Jack that she is number five, not number two in the pecking order. It’s not that we older hens want Jack’s ‘attention’ but it’s a dominance thing, you know. He said something about finding Ella’s “large fluffy bum rather compelling” – takes all sorts.
