More Eggs... More Visitors!

We had a few more visitors stop by to check up on The Ladies. This first picture shows mom and two kids checking out both the eggs and The Ladies with Mother Hen. The Ladies don't like being held any more than they ever have, but you can corner one long enough to let visitors feel the softness of feathers or see the bigness of feet. Paul was kind enough to let our visitors have an up-close interaction.

This second picture is more common of what happens when trying to chase The Ladies. They tend to hide under some sort of cover, only coming out when offered a bit of scratch. That's also the way we coax them back into the coop.

Same old...

It's been over a month since we last posted any new information about The Ladies; The Ladies have been living large and holding up their end of this whole bargain.  We're now getting three or four eggs a day!  

John and Paul lay light brown eggs that are pretty much indistinguishable.  George and Ringo lay a light blue and a light green egg, but we're not sure which one lays which. If we catch one of them in the act, we'll be sure to let you know.

The pictures and videos we could be getting now are pretty much the same ones we've already posted.  The Ladies spend most of the day hanging out in the coop and then come out to peck around the yard during the last three or four hours of daylight.  Instead of trying to chase them home, we mostly just let wander back inside when it gets dark.  They are a lot of fun to watch.
