Naughty girl
I thought I’d lost my last hen today. She vanished for hours. Then we heard a soft clucking behind the sofa…
I’m sure she laid an egg back there, but it’s one of those hidden places that has become a maze of unnavigable junk. We’ll find it when it gets smashed some day, I suppose.
Have you spotted what is interesting about this photo? I caught her nictitating membrane halfway across her eye.
It’s easy to see in chickens. They do a sort of double-blink, where their inner eyelid comes across right before their outer eyelids close.
That’s a drowsy chicken. Alert chickens don’t blink.
