Releasing the Cooped Up Crabbies - Video

Thread Starter 

Yesterday we had freezing rain and sleet....of course silkies won't go under the shelter outside, they just stand in the rain and get soaked.  I opted to keep them in the coop yesterday and they were crabbing all day.  This morning they crabbed until I finally let them out.  It was a chicken stampede.

It's not too late to learn to to love and forget how to hate.

Yeah, me too.  They were excited to get outside and do chicken stuff.

Last year I put out some bird seed for wild birds and sat this camera about a foot from the seed on the same platform....got some great wild bird closeups...then someone knocked it over.

LoL, we had a camera my husband put out on a tree next to a deer carcass. He was thinking he was going to get lots of coyote pictures. All he got was several of the neighbor's chocolate lab and then the cows knocked the camera over. We had about 20 cow nose pictures. tongue

Cute video and they definitely looked like they were ready to get out!
