Sif nearly made me cry tonight.​

Aoife was screaming @ everyone to get to bed so I came out to check Sif was managing ok. She wasn't on the patio. She wasn't in the shed. She wasn't round the corner @ the food. I started checking all the places I sometimes find her stuck. No Sif. Just as I was starting to worry because it was getting pretty dark I found her! She had got herself into one of the garden beds & was having a really thorough dust bath.

Not only that, I watched her stretch out both legs, her good one & then her bad one, Both wings. Everyone else had gone to roost & it was nearly completely dark when she hopped down ~ without toppling over~ & almost ran to the shed beside me. She was so happy! And I was so happy for her.

This girl is telling Sue to leave her eggs alone.

That is the plan.

Duke, our American bulldog actually watches for hawks. One dipped too low last Sunday and he went ballistic.

Thank you everyone. I am beyond delighted. After so long she just seems to get a little stronger every day but to see her doing a chicken's favourite thing [after food] & after so long just filled me with joy!

Coffee is always necessary before chores.

That is a very lovely looking hen! But isn't it a little early in the season for your girls to be going broody?
