What can I say? These six hens didn't manage to raise a single baby among them this year. They're clearly not very good at the whole mother hen routine. At this point, they should be sneaking around the woods and fields with young poults, teaching them how to be successful turkeys.
Instead, they have gathered together for a hen party to hunt for grasshoppers, eat fresh rye sprouts and tease the group of Jakes that occasionally follows them around gobbling and displaying fine feathers.
They also like to find sandy spots to bathe, preen and generally take luxurious spa days.
They may be frivolous, but we still like seeing them stalking about and refer to them as the six bad moms. We are hoping for better luck next year!
