Just walked in the door from locking my "free range" girls up in their coop. My girls just started pecking at the stucco__ They have been running around out there for a year. They have enough food and calcium and there are no bugs under the stucco... i have no idea why all of a sudden they have...
Wow, that is kind of cool. Thanks for the tip.

The middle bird is much larger than the other two and HIS face is very red. He has the saddle feathers...
