Never let the minor distraction of laying an egg get in the way of a hen and her mealworms...
Campag is such a character. She's little but full of feistiness and inquisitiveness. She always wants to know what's going on and is always trying to get to the head of the queue when I appear with treats such as mealworms, sweetcorn, spaghetti, grapes and the like. Went out this morning with the bucket of mealworms. I am spotted. Cue the usual avian frenzy to get to the door of the run... hens shouting "Me!Me!Me!" and flapping excitedly. Cue Campag appearing at the door of the henhouse and she positively gallops down the ramp to greet me as I enter the run area. Whereupon she joins in with the flapping & begging for mealworms, and promptly deposits her fresh egg right at my feet.
Nothing, but nothing gets in the way of a hen and her mealworms...
