 These 3 hens are busy laying eggs for me.  Doing their job. #grownostr #countrylife #chickens https://image.nostr.build/2faa21e9379a596e1ec8f4d985164248fd38c7755229e491a7217ebc81ba9868.jpg 
 amazing they're all in their own boxes... Mine all want to fight over the same one 😂 
 Lol, mine all like the same box too.  
 Can you send them over to train mine? 
 They had to fight for a little while first, then they each found their spot. So they still need some work. 
 They’re lovely! Do you name them? 
 Only if you don’t want to eat them.

That Sunday when we had Clara for lunch was the worst 😂 
 No names, they're hard to tell apart sometimes. 
 I’m getting “Fran” 😂 
 That’s a beautiful thing 
 Beautiful when the plan works. 
 chickens are very competitive... there is a coop around the corner from me where there is like 10 birds and three of them are all henpecked, and i wonder whether there's too many in one patch... and further up the road there's a bigger enclosure with about 15 but those ones all seem to be fine, so i think possibly the henpecked ones maybe are not getting fed enough?

never kept chickens, i'm interested to know what people who do say about keeping them happy 
 yeah, the enclosures are visibly different too, the ones with the henpecked birds also is very bare, like they have stripped it a hundred times over, and there's one spot where a chicken has dug quite a deep hole and often i see it sitting in it, just sorta seems like they are doing something wrong

 yeah, they definitely have similarities to military camps, even the bugler lol
