Update

-- No new chicks today but I decided to move the potential moms out of the coop. I think the living situation there is not optimal. I moved them to the garage in a small tote container, put some hay and added their eggs. To be honest, I don't know who's eggs are those anyways, those tricky hens make the other hens lay there next to them so they can steal their eggs. I have seen it. So, the birth of the chicks should be a surprise. Last time, Nizo, my black silky hen stole a bunch of frizzle eggs and she raised them. We'll see this time around.

My silky hen, Nizo

Stylish as usual--

She had a chick not too long ago, now she refuses to go outside and act like a chicken. She hangs around with the dogs and chills while I type and work from home.
