Wednesday

For the one person who voted that Lady was indeed a Lady may well be correct. I think she ran off to lay an egg this morning. Case closed in my book - she's a female. Tommy had that usual look of loneliness all of the boys had about them when the ladies go off and lay. Miss Muffet is still sitting on eggs, today I counted 5.

I tried to let the hens and the babies out of the pen this morning and the young roosters went crazy for them.

I forgot to mention - the brown hen is famous. There is a picture of her in the new J Mag; there is an interview and photos taken from the ranch. Sadly no mention of the blog or the ducks. The photo was taken when Tommy was going through his depression so he didn't take the most exciting pictures back then. I'll get a scan of it, when I find a copy (I don't want to purchase it - I would if it contained a picture of Tommy, but because its just the brown hen, I'll borrow a copy).
