Yes the smallest one is a little challenged, but she's just hilarious. Today the three of them were on a roost and she was on the end, she wanted to get across the roost to the other end of it, but she could not figure out for the life of her how to get across her sister to get to the other end...

Look at these three girls we got from Debi @PetRock . They are the sweetest babies, they still aren't comfortable going up the ladder to get in the coop at night (we're working on changing the inclination of the ladder) So every night I take them off the roost to put them in the coop and they...
