Good to catch up on the girls, @mother2chicks 😘. Sorry to hear about Blue - I hope she feels better soon. That need for 14-16 hours of daylight...wow. I guess African chickens have adapted to conditions here since it's only really are you get south to Cape Town that you get days that long.

I was wondering if there might be a group effect as well - that the girls' hormones align with each other after a while? I believe it can happen with groups of women who spend long periods of time living together. Just wondering.

Anyway, really good to catch up with you and the girls. Wishing Blue a speedy recovery. 😊😘
