I put Meredith, the one eyed chicken – back into the main coop inside today. She stuck around in a corner on her own for about an hour but then slowly, began to re-introduce herself and strut her stuff, all over again! She pecked Hanah & Bailey hard in the ass, which wish I caught it on video. They definitely all have little personalities. Stripe is officially a *woman* (Hen) now.

One-Eyed Chicken
Yesterday I was bitterly disapointed to find that Meredith could open her eye, but that the infection had completely blinded her. I dont know whether or not to let her back in with the rest today because she is now blind in one eye. It was a little uncomfortable to watch her, she could hear me but had to turn the head to see me.
But on a more positive note, I suspect two hens are laying now. We would normally get two eggs a day but Meredith was laying one of those eggs and with her removed, it was just one egg every couple of days. Yesterday, there was two eggs and today there was three. I am absolutely thrilled. Its good to see eggs after all this time!
I think Stripe is laying because of her roaring red comb and its a toss up between Izzie & Bailey.
A one eyed chicken… this song sprang to mind.
