Speaking of which, I'm watching Lavinia to see if she shows any roo signs. But her feathers are coming in the same way the other girls did and other than having big feet, she seems to be just like the other girls.
We finished the additional run area. I put in some branches and a hanging basket. Gonna put in a swing and some other activities. I decided to keep the birdbath but forego the fountain - too complicated. I planted some shrubs around the run to make it look more like part of the yard and less like a zoo exhibit.
I'll post pix so you all can tell me what you think.
I've already locked the girls up. So far, no serious complaints.
