This Buff Brahma puffs herself up but stays silent
when I open her nest box.

This little Wyandotte just sits quietly.
I made soup tonight.
It wasn't a plan... it just kind of happened.
I steamed a pot of brussel sprouts, green beans and kale
and the water under the vegetables
turned this lovely shade of green and I just couldn't throw it out.
Green Refrigerator Soup
(stuff I had in the fridge)
I had some leeks.
Washed, chopped and added them and some garlic.
Leftover cooked bacon.
Let it cook.
Added cooked potatoes and seasoning.
Then I whipped it up with the immersion blender.
Added chopped cooked chicken,
1 roma tomato chopped fine (seeds removed,)
and 2 finely chopped spring onions.
Then I added juice of half a lime.
and some more salt.
I put it in the fridge.
Hope it will taste even better tomorrow.
Might add a bit more lemon or lime juice before serving
And ?
It's still green!

That soup sure sounds good! I have been pretty lucky in that I don't get broody hen that often!
Got to love those broodies!
Haha. It's still green. ;o)
Good luck with the broodies!
Sounds delicious! Some of my best soups have been accidental inventions.
The soup looks yummy and your hens are so pretty! :)
I'm jealous of your broody hens! How are they doing now?
The broody hens are still sitting and must be getting pretty tired of no chicks showing up. No rooster around here.
