I gotta show you something that has never happened before. Around here, that is. 
Five eggs from four hens in 24 hours.
Way to go, girls! Extra gruel for everyone.
Selma the other little red hen is still segregated from them in Landlady’s portable coop, but all five seem to spend most of their time hanging out together through the wire and I’m wondering if it isn’t time to see if I can re-integrate her with the rest? They’re as big as she is now, and there never seems any antagonism. On the other hand that’s logical thinking, and I try never to predict hen behavior based on logic. It never works out well.
And I digress…
Little Bear has been moonlighting; but you knew that. Did you know where?

Click and Zoe also guest starred (along with whatshisname, the very temporary male kitten). Actually, a few friend’s cat’s made it into that video.
(BTW, how did you happen upon that old video anyway?)
Are we talking about that weird parody video Bear made way back when? ‘Cause that’s a helluva thought to wake up to. 🙂
Hanging out together near the wire isn’t necessarily forming bonds of chicken BFF loyalty and devotion. It may be just the four analyzing the wire and trying to find a way to get to her, while she sits there doing the chicken version of NyahNyanNyah. Slip her in with them at night when everyone is tired and sleepy or already asleep, then stand by with all of your chicken behavior control tools to rescue her if necessary. They may all wake up together and not notice an extra body, or not care. Chickens seem to adjust to change better when they are tired and sleepy. Or you could make four little hoods, put them on at night, slip her in, and not remove the hoods until after sunrise the next day. The chickens would be so confused and disoriented they wouldn’t notice her. JK, JK, really…
