August Update

It's been a little wild round here at the Compound due to possum attacks, Rosemary's arrival and our upcoming departure to Spain, so here's where things stand now:

Blondie hasn't layed an egg since May, but we've decided she's molting which is a relief because chicken-depression is not something we are equipped to handle. Check out her funny looking feathers (or lack thereof):

And, Ruthie "the Muscle", did in fact lose part of her beak during one of the possum attacks, but it hasn't slowed her eating nor her bullying down a bit. Check out her underbite:

And Rosemary (far left) has found her place in the flock. In the pecking order, she's somewhere behind Frieda and Blanca but definitely ahead of Ruthie and Blondie. All in all, everyone's just peachy.
