The Guardian of the Eggs - September 2021

 Well, we still have nine of the summer pullets.  They are being pulled in a pen around the apple trees for gleaning and cleaning of the ground while fertilizing. 

Feisty Salmon Faverolle

The hens, as they are, we have nine of those too.  The Salmon Faverolles crack me up.  One has decided she is going to protect the eggs at least until I pull them out of the nest. She's not broody, yet, but who knows.  I may need to intervene if she starts acting more broody-like. 



The other Faverolle is more of a Chatty Cathy. She gets on the other hens' last nerve sometimes. On occasion, they will come up to her and peck at her beak, trying to get her to stop talking. LOL
