I was well aware of that, except around here it's usually something like 'Them old women are sitting around gossiping like a bunch of old hens'..Both. A gathering of ........ ahem......."mature" ladies is referred to as a "hen party".

Yeah I wouldn't refer to ANY group of female humans as a "hen party". I'm pretty sure that has a negative connotation.

I guess I'm just not into all this new age avante gard political correctness thing and not much on sensitivity training either.

People get too sensitive and too easily offended by anything and everything nowadays. You breath the air a little too hard and someone gets offended.
But I think(so far from experience) we have a good group of people with lots of sense of humor around here in BYH.

If I have offended anyone in any way during my time here on BYH........ it was not on purpose. I promise that if you will let me know, I will mend my ways and make sure to insult you on purpose next time!

Lost one of the 6 Y/O Faverolles this morning. Not real surprised, she's mostly been hanging in the barn alley or just outside most days the last few weeks instead of going out to forage with the rest of the girls, er hens. But as recently as yesterday she was still running for morning BOSS and evening scratch. Time just caught up with her. First one I've lost that was "natural" end of life, not a predator or major medical issue. Thus now down to 4 of the original 12, all currently laying. Flock is now 14 hens and 6 nearly 7 week old (better be!) pullets.
