TFW you know there's a hidden nest somewhere but you can't find it. And then you're checking on the pullets to make sure they're getting plenty of water, and you find the hidden nest.
It's a weird mix of exciting and goddamnit.

Two of my daughters worked to make this glorious felted chickenhead for my desk.

My chickens really want you all to know that someone just laid an egg. They are really excited about it. All three of them have joined in to sing the song of their people - very loudly. 😂 🐔 #Chickens

#ColossalBiosciences is growing #chickens in a 3D-printed container
In an early step towards artificial wombs, a #biotech company claims it’s developed a “fully artificial” chicken #egg as part of its effort to resurrect extinct avian species, including birds like the dodo and the giant moa.
Colossal was founded in 2021 with plans to use gene editing and reproductive technology to restore extinct species, including the woolly mammoth.

The #chickens are chilling out in the shade of the sheep shed, but they get excited to have some corn.

'Drone' warfare is older than you might think. In 1267, the Sheriff of Essex claimed, as a confidence trick, that 40 male chickens were to be used to carry incendiaries, tied to their feet, as part of efforts to quell a popular uprising in London. Not carried out in practice, the idea was nevertheless there!

We have (not entirely by plan) a Barnevelder chick that had a difficult hatch and came out with splay leg and spent several days in a cup before experimentally transitioning to the brooder. It's trying, and it's slowly improving, but it's SO small that none of my usual chicken interventions are feasible. I can't gavage it, that's for damn sure. Syringe-feeding protein slurry blobs for it to peck off the nozzle is risky, but it's too unstable to peck at a feeder normally.
A /real/ farmer would just cull it, but I'm a poseur.

Today I had the audacity to take an orange bucket that did *not* have chicken food in it out to the outdoor bathroom and the chickens followed me *all the way there* and then turned around and acted like they'd intended to peck that one spot so far away the whole time!
Also somehow hens are breaking into the brood box and annoying our currently broody hen. Investigation ongoing. Chickens are weird.

In March I purchased 5 female-sexed chicks, looking very forward to having 5 new egg layers. As this one grew, I began to worry, trying to convince myself that she is just a particularly stunning hen.
This morning at sunrise we were awakened by a feeble, first attempt at cock-a-doodle-doo; missing a few syllables, but unmistakable.
Rats! “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch” or something like that.

A study by the British supermarket chain Sainsbury's estimated that white eggs have a 12.7% smaller carbon footprint than brown eggs. Other estimates are in the range of 6-8%. The difference is due to metabolic efficiency of the Leghorn hens that produce white eggs.
