Chair Chicken

Its 35 degrees today, the 4th day of the "January thaw."  Yesterday was a bright 50 degrees and all the snow melted.  I am home sick with the flu.  Its nasty.  But chores must still get done.

I was in the house just few minutes when I noticed one of my blonde pullets was sitting in my favorite porch chair.

There have been small feathers in it the past few weeks, but I thought that the wind had placed them there.

Apparently not.



 I quickly realized how long this had been going on when big, blonde Marilyn chased the other hens away when they approached "her" chair.




 No other chicken has gotten near that chair all day.




I expect at some point in the very near future I may find an egg on that chair.

I hope I do not find "anything" else... as I really enjoy sitting in that comfortable chair to read my farm magazines.    so far, so good.

Marylyn is no chairmen of the Board........more like the chairHen of the Porch.




Have you had a hen claim something of yours, as their own?
