I kinda feel entitled to giving you a chicken update with every egg-based post so here goes it! Hei Hei really is a completely different chicken after living in the garden during the day for a few weeks. She’s almost grown all of her feathers back and has even been hinting that she like to you out of the garden at times (by pacing by the gate). I let her out with the other chickens quite a few times now and she really is holding her own!
She has gotten chased (Henneth is the worst offender currently and Hen-Solo has been much more chill) but so far hasn’t gotten attacked and she’s overall just more confident. She stays way closer to the other ladies than she ever dared before and is even clucking more normally (she used to only chirp).
We are fencing in the potato patch next to the garden so that the chickens can have a larger enclosed run and not make such a mess of our yard. We’ll see how it goes but I’m thinking Hei Hei will still have to go in the garden during the day since there’s less space to run away to in the new run.
Okay now that you’re all caught up, let’s talk about this recipe!
