Pink Polka Dot Boots

I've been wearing old croc sandals out in the chicken yard, run and house. Basically keeps my feet clean, but mornings have been cooler and the grass is wet so I decided I needed something else. Thanks Target for marking your rain boots down 50%!

See, subtle are they not? I was a little disappointed that the girls were not immediately flocking to check them out, but they went on their merry way, looking for bugs and what not in the grass...

Now Lydia, Kitty and Elinor are showing some interest (OK, the others did too but moved away before I could get their pictures).....

Lydia is probably wondering if the dots taste like, well, you know......

Nope, definitely does not taste like banana. I bet Lydia could work a pair of little pink boots, although she'd probably prefer a pair of black slingbacks with a kitten heel.

Fanny deciding if she approves....she'll get back to me about that.

The silly sisters (Fanny, Elinor and Kitty) are now 18 weeks old and still no eggs. Seems the average age to start laying for Golden Comets is 17-21 weeks, but some start as early as 15 weeks. I have a feeling that they might hold out until the snooty sisters (Harriet, Emma and Lydia) are ready to start at about 24 weeks just to torture me. We have put golf balls in the nesting boxes to give them a clue, but so far they are clueless- much like Jane Austen's character Emma. If you haven't seen them you should check out 'Clueless' and 'Emma'. Two good movies, neither of which laid an egg!
