Red Sex Links are usually the most friendly in the chicken world. Amanda says that's true with hers-- the hens are never skittish,
they come running and follow you around like pets when you go in the coup. Gentle Nica looks worried. What a funny dog. This is one who goes berserk at the sight of a deer or wild turkey and the chase is on.
The hens are plump and healthy after 6 months of eating table scraps and expensive chicken feed. Where are the eggs? An increase in day length is a key driver, so Amanda put a light in their house, also some fake eggs in the nest boxes. If all 12 start laying at once, that will be a very good problem.
I came home from California with a bad cold (what a surprise) and spent yesterday laying around the house. It is good weather for hunkering down.
