up my arm and settles on my shoulder.
Today was the last time.

Apparently, my watery allergy eyes were just too much temptation
for her to handle. I actually got
pecked in the eye. I don’t think she
did any damage, but her days on my shoulder are through.

make sure he’s friendly. If he turns
mean then he has to go into the stew pot and we won’t have a roo to fertilize
eggs. He comes right up to me every
time I go in the pen and I pick him up and hold him. HE’s never pecked me!
WARNING: GROSS
CHICKEN EGG PICTURES COMING UP. THOSE

After not laying for about a month this is what Gimpy laid

2 eggs at a time for months; she used to give us double yolk eggs.

just bonded together and came out at once.
Pretty gross, huh?
