Oh, I'm new at this and the little darlings love me!!

I've always had a love for animals but have always put my nursing career above my personal live, for 33 yrs. A few years ago, I started day dreaming about maybe someday owning dairy goats and studying on it. Well, knowing that that's all it was, a dream, I decided to start small. I started studying on chickens.

In March, I bought 4 barred rock pullets and 2 mixed banthams at Royal King's grand opening in Circleville, Ohio. I didn't think that I would end up with 2 very strange looking fellows in the bunch!

I was surprised about all of the poopy mess, but I still love them. I find myself over washing my hands. I wonder if this is because it's a new change for me or my career making me ocd. There is a lot of super infections out there in hospitals and long term care facilities that are difficult and impossible to irradicate.

I even tried to pen potty them. Ha, Ha! I put 2 potties in the pen. One in each of the back to corners of the pen with a perch over. There is more pooh in the pots than anywhere else.

Now, one of the little guys is getting aggressive. He has feathered legs. I need to find a home for Weston.
 

Thanks. Which would be the duccle?

Oh and one more funny picture. Marilyn (Monroe) going potty.

At first, it seemed they only went pooh in the potties and never scratched the sand and dirt out. But, now they are scratching it out and not using as much as they were. Only difference it the color of the tarp over the top of the pen.

Thanks!
