Fingers crossed. They’re the same height, or higher than the nesting area. 🤞🏻

I think they must!! 😉 used all scrap wood I had around, as you can tell!! Had to “sell it” Like that to the 6 year old - I had to cut the painting in half!! 🤣

Oh!!! & you’ll see I added another roost right behind the nest box too!!! & included a bonus photo of pinky, our salmon Favorelle 😉

Hi Friends! Thank you everyone for your comments. Based on what you had to say, I knew what I had to do! This weekend I altered the design of the nest box so we have an interior door that we can close in the late afternoon & open back up in the morning. I’m hoping we don’t have to continue this...

Thanks!! Better than I expected, considering we picked them up sight unseen 1 or 2 weeks into Covid lockdowns!

How do I teach my girls to NOT SLEEP in the nest box? The same 4 sleep in there nightly. The other 3 are on the high perch. there is a low, smaller perch that I installed when they were young. Some still hang out on it sometimes, so I’ve left it. I’ve never seen anyone sleep on the small one...

Circling back. we ended up with: Cheeky girl is a salmon Favorelle Barnvelders Wellsummers & speckled Sussex! 👍🏼👍🏼😍

Thanks! I try to avoid liquid, but put all of our chicken scraps in a freezer bag. I sprinkle them around to give them some cool treats they have to work at!

How is she now? My Salmon Favorelle was the same! Loudest thing!! Then she was bossy. But now she’s docile & sweet, 1st one to start laying in our little flock!! ❤

Buffalo!

I’m not sure what’s what. Muffs tufts & beards. What does Pinky, our salmon Favorelle have??

Nugget! ❤

I see a verigated hosta in your photos. I believe that is in the nightshade family? & poisonous time the girls?? Please double check!

YAY!! Im really pleased with this selection considering this was when we just went into lockdown & we drove up to the Back of the store & the chicks were put in the back seat. Hahaha! Sight unseen...

Thanks!!!

Better shot of one of the 2 welsummer/brown leghorn

This is about 2 weeks old. The muffs were starting to show!
