SUSAN:
A couple of nights ago when Nigel and I were watering/feeding the chooks together, I noticed that 46 had a bit of blood near her tail feathers! Why do they pick on 46 so badly?
Nigel caught her and she went back into the brooder, close to the house. Who was happy about this? You guessed it: BOOMER AND AUSTIN! When Boomer saw Nigel and 46 coming back into "his" yard, he immediately started licking his lips! They were crazy-excited about 46 getting put into the brooder. After some gentle disciplining, they calmed down a bit and 46 was left alone (we guess, who knows what happens when we're not here?!?!).
After a couple of days, 46 is back into the coop. She was a little more "jumpy" than usual on her first day. She really reminds me of an awkward freshman boy on his first day at high school -- so sad for 46 -- but maybe she'll really become the "most successful" (as most geeky freshmen in high school do) and have the best egg production!
