This morning was a bit traumatic in our little corner of the world.
Princess Layer, who is usually fairly chilled, attacked both Sweetpea and Queenie within minutes of them all being let out of the run. Chasing them around to peck at them quite viciously.
This is very unusual behaviour for Princess Layer, she’s usually very relaxed with the smaller girls, so I separated them and kept my eyes peeled.
Sure enough Princess retreated under a shrub, puffed up her feathers and stood still with her tail down. Typical “unwell hen” posture. I scooped her out and checked her over, I knew that she hadn’t laid yesterday, so was concerned that she might be struggling to pass an egg.
A warm Epsom salt bath and a blow dry later (yes occasionally the girls are in need of a mini spa day) and out popped the offending egg. Within 30 minutes Princess was back to her usual greedy but relaxed self.
When someone treats you badly or unfairly it is rarely to do with you or your behaviour and more likely to be something they are going through themselves.
Don’t ever let someone elses opinion of you harm your own self worth.
