The chickens are moulting, which means that they have stopped laying eggs, and they look very shabby. I took some video today when I went out to give them some leftover rice.
I love how Dolly (the black one) starts by swiftly picking out all the pieces of carrot and setting them beside the bowl. FYI when I came back later to lock them up for the night, the carrot slices had all been eaten. So apparently they weren’t THAT objectionable.
I’m pretty sure she was picking them out because they are special to her. She is a very grown-up chicken who can delay gratification; she was saving them to eat later. Dolly is so mature for her age.
At first glance I thought the title of this posting was “Chicken Spanx.” I got really excited at the prospect of seeing you dress your chickens in leotard-like body modifiers.
Ha! Well, they ARE pretty bottom-heavy!
I like how like a picky-eater toddler she is. “I do NOT eat anything that’s ORANGE. NO ORANGE.”
