The weather went from bitterly cold to sunny and beautiful, so I let the chickens outside for a little while to enjoy it while it lasts! They were so happy to be able to roll in the dirt!

Researchers say newly discovered archival records reveal an important connection between Ontario First Nations and Irish famine victims.
The Irish Potato Famine was a period of starvation and disease in Ireland, and one of the most traumatic events in modern Irish history. Year after year, the country's potato crop failed. By the time the worst was over, one million people had died of disease and starvation. Survivors were forced to emigrate. In the summer of 1847, Toronto gave refuge to 38,000 Irish famine victims — at a time when Toronto's population was only 20,000.
The part of this history that is virtually unknown is the contribution to the relief fund from Indigenous communities in Canada.
"At least 15 bands answered the call and requested that donations be deducted from their government annuities, added to the fund, and then sent to 'our suffering fellow subjects and Christian brethren in Ireland and Scotland,'' according to Mark McGowan's research. McGowan is a professor of history at the University of Toronto and has spent time going through the archival documents. [...]

Only two of our chickens (Diglett and Mew) are Wyandottes. They have both decided to go broody at the same time.
Diglett and Mew have each claimed a nesting box and make loud grumpy sounds at anyone who gets too close. This would be a problem if they were high in the pecking order and blocked other hens from laying their eggs in peace. Fortunately, they are too smol to be taken seriously.
The other chickens either placidly ignore the racket, or temporarily kick the Wyandottes out of the coop. Every morning is full of petulant bwaks.
My wife now refers to them as the Whiny Dots

wait so ur dislike of ‘wyandotte personality’ i have a wyandotte and she is a little bitch
like i love her but holy shit
SO ALL THE BOOKS I READ TELLING ME WYANDOTTES WERE DOCILE WERE LIES
Yeah i wouldn't consider them docile exactly lol they are kind up there with Rhode Island Reds in terms of how they act in their flock and how clannish they can be but in my experience Rhode islands are alot more naturally people friendly then wyandottes. They are great livestock chickens but arent the best or easiest "pet" chickens. I had to rehome Baby because her sheer weight, dislike of being handled, and her aggression towards other chickens made her not suited to being a house chicken long term despite being handled alot as a chick.
I have had friends try to get into Wyandottes as pet chickens then be very disappointed in how independent and hands off they want to be despite lots of love and handling as chicks even the freakin bantams are like this lol
I have found when websites say wyandottes like to be in the middle of the pecking order they mean they are going to be birds who like to viciously pick on more docile flock mates but then cow and squawk the moment a higher ranking more aggressive bird looks at them.
I think its funny when people think Leghorns are skittish and independent but i see way more house chickens that are leghorns then i see Wyandottes, in fact i dont think i have even seen a long term house chicken who was an able bodied Wyandotte besides Baby.
Of course there are exceptions I am kind of close to Cackle Hatchery which means most Wyandottes in my area are likely from them and Cackle has aggression issues in their Wyandotte lines.
Now do not get me wrong. When i get some land for chickens i do plan on having my own flock of Wyandottes depending on where i move. I think they are delicious and are great free rangers, their independence means they are great at taking care of themselves and finding good forage. They are clannish so they tend to be better and more well behaved if they are in a flock of similarly colored birds.
