The newest Plymouth Blue Rock laying her egg...in the doorway

A Plymouth Blue Rock won the contest for laying the first egg! We thought Royal would be first, as she matured the quickest, but it was Sky. Thanks for paying the the egg tax, Sky!

Captured during the grand opening of the extended run.

New extended chicken run completed - who goes first?? Australorps? Buffs? BPR? Barred Rocks! You might be surprised.

The girls alerted us to this emaciated creature - must be really hungry to do this in the middle of the day.

The girls are figuring out pecking order. A Blue Rock and a Black Australorp are usually the first ones in for the night - opting to perch on the far right, as close to the wall as possible. What follows is everyone else trying to get the best positioning.
