This is my blog about the day to day lives of my little flock of pet chickens. They're a happy little flock, although they're totally crackers! If you want a laugh, they'll gladly give you one.

A cranky day in the hen run

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Maggie has positioned herself at the top of the pecking order. Another fight broke out between Rebecca and Punk.   Maggie marched over to them and quelled the fracas with nothing more than a very stern look.

Then Tu-Tu strolled by, so Maggie pecked her for no good reason.   Later Fizz ambled past, so she chased him round the run.   Fizz had a look of total confusion on his face, as he hadn't thought about sex for ..... well, seconds .... and certainly not with Maggie.   So he had no idea what he'd done to upset her.

To be fair, Maggie is in the middle of a heavy moult, so is probably feeling tetchy anyway.   The Araucanas are also moulting (but still laying eggs!), so they're also feeling tetchy .   Fizz is moulting all over the place too, but has no idea what "tetchy" means, so he isn't.
