Call it a banner day! Chickenson laid her first egg of 2018. For a chicken who is six years old, she looks pretty good and she is still laying eggs. Last year she laid 3 eggs. She is a good mother hen. With her feathery thighs and tawny feathers she makes a very good looking chicken! She has become a natural born leader. She is always the first one out of the coop. If it is time to go back into the coop, if I can get her to go in the others will follow. If I put a treat out like a piece of cucumber or a strawberry, she is the first to taste it. Once she does taste it the other chickens will shove her aside to get at it. One of my neighbors always mentions that her mother's favorite breed of chicken was the Buff Orpington. I can see how she came to that opinion.
