Well! My efforts as Chicken Rescuer has paid off. Today as I went out to feed and water my prize (only in my mind) chickens I was pleasantly surprised that the one hen I had freed last night from the perils of rooster ravage is looking much better. She has eater well today it seems and even laid an egg!!!! Eureka! She is walking tall and must have laid low. Get it. Laid low. Pun intended.
The other chickens seem to be doing better to now that it is drying out a bit. Maybe they don't like all the water? Water . . . chickens on the water . . . makes me think of ducks... I wonder if ducks lay eggs regularly like chickens? I will have to find that one out and let you know.
All in all we got 4 eggs today making me feel very good about myself as a chicken farmer. I mean, I saved one's life, got 4 eggs, and didn't have to kick any rooster for attacking my head.
I think I may move another hen or two to the separate cage and see if they begin to lay eggs too. And if you are wondering will chickens will lay eggs with or without roosters . . . well maybe we can cover that tomorrow. I have found there are many a plausible answer to the plithera of chicken questions rousing the coop.
