Sadly, Bandit is cointinuing to become more aggressive. Cat shared this experience: "I found a spider in my room and kept it alive overnight so I could feed it to Bandit. When I fed him the spider on the spoon, he ran up the spoon and then attacked me like a ninja. He didn't eat the spider. It just bounced off the spoon and landed on the ground."
Buttercup started laying! We know it's her because of the color of the egg. Can you figure out which one is Buttercup's?
It's hard to tell with the coloring in the picture but Buttercup, whose breed is Olive Egger, lys bluish green eggs. When Hei Hei starts laying, her eggs will be a more true blue. With three laying hens we now get 2-3 eggs a day. So eggciting!
Lastly, we've noticed a definite habit that the chickens have established of waddling over to us whenever we walk into the back yard. As Ben put it, "I know they're only coming to me because they think I'll give them treats, but I still enjoy it." I agree - it's nice to see living things come right to you as soon as they know you're around. You can't help but think, even for a fleeting second, "They love me!"
