Thanks to @Ponypoor for last week's synopsis which is available here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...es-stories-of-our-flock.1286630/post-28046392
Why did the Chickencross the roadgo to the Michigan State Capitol?
Our chicken news this week is dominated by an epic, 547 mile journey, made by our intrepid heroes @BY Bob and Versace to meet @SimpleJenn, and to start a new life (well Versace not Bob).
Like all great expeditions much preparation and luggage was involved

The sequel to this classic 'coming home' movie is already under development with a wonderful plot thanks to @RebeccaBoyd and some interesting new character dynamics (possibly inspired by HRH Aurora).

In other news:
Both @rural mouse and @Ponypoor have tailless chickens. So do I, but I think I posted Bernie's depleted look last week, and this week she is in a terrible state so I will not shame her!

And chicken-math has come home to roost for poor Kelly, who is inundated with beautiful cockerels that she has to find homes for.

As always I apologize if I missed anything important. This week I have been a bit distracted with a sick cat so may well have mis-posted.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone
More likely he is starting to take on the duties as watcher. Ensuring everyone is safe.Let us not forget about my Wyandottey:
He was the first to crow, but now he’s been pushed aside by the others.View attachment 3958468
Oh @RoyalChick can answer that about eggs and roofs….DH asked me what do you get when a chicken lays an egg on the barn rooftop? An "egg roll"
Of course now I have feathers everywhere in the feedroom!One never thinks that countries like the US and Canada can be subject to such natural disasters - but Mother Nature still rules.
Thankfully here today the weather is nice.

Buttercup is moulting so she is hanging out with me for a bit.
