I sometimes scramble some of the girls eggs in a little olive oil and water and give this to them, to give back some of their own goodness and a little protein boost. They love scrambled egg and like the tuna, they fall on it as if they haven’t eaten for days and it’s gone in about a minute.
When they have finished Pepper and Dotty gently peck any specks of egg from each others beaks. They look so sweet, they used to this when they were babies.

I always think this looks like a chicken kiss. That’s Pepper on the right and Dotty on the left again.

Great pictures . They look soooooo innocent ! Well two of them any way :))
I know. These two have always been such a tight pair which is why I know this feather plucking problem isn’t malicious, these two have never ever pecked each other. I remember a photo just like this of these two when they were one and two months old. I may dig it out and put it on another post as a comparison.
