Today's update...
The new additions seem to be settling in well. Waffle is firmly established as queen of the roost, and lets the others know it. She's definitely the most social of the flock, and runs up to us for attention whenever we go near the pen.
Renita is officially ours now, since the friend she came from is back to her full capacity. Not sure if she's stressed, or affected by the daylight hours or the bitter cold we had last week, but she's stopped laying for about a week now. She's a good girl, but not hand raised like the others, so doesn't actively seek attention as much.
Yin and Yang, or my "house of black and white if you're a Thrones fan," though the largest of the group, are younger and clearly bottom of the pecking order. Yang Green, who I'm now calling "Yangy Doodle" has gifted us with her first egg! I was skeptical of what we were told about the egg color we should expect, but I'll be darned, it's true. It's GREEN! How cool is that?!!!
Hopefully Yin Gully (still looks like a seagull) will be laying soon too. We're told to expect red eggs from her. That would be amazing!
Next episode coming soon...
