Awe you have a speckled Sussex!!

We went outside this morning. And they seemed a little skiddish, but now they are happy and running around. They took dust baths, but they keep going back to that outbuilding door trying to get back in now. I guess they are more adaptable than I gave them credit. They were adjusting to that...

I’ve been sprinkling meal worms...I’ve bought the fancy surf and turf with shrimp to cheer them up. I’ve brought peace offerings of carrots and strawberries. They seem happy for a minute but aren’t eating with as much enthusiasm as usual. I worry all day because I’m at work and then rush...

My birds seem to be fighting more too. Breaks my heart they don’t have the space to run and they are all getting grumpy with each other

That’s actually a good idea, it’s good opportunity to clean their outdoor space. I read somewhere that fans will kick up all the ash that’s settled. I might just turn over all their bedding and wipe down the surfaces. At least they will get a good cleaning in before the weather gets cold...

I let them out for a few hours this morning, but I regret it. They are desperate to get to their laying boxes and I felt bad. I took a wire dog kennel and put a box inside with some straw and covered with a moving blanket over the top. I broke out the old wooden eggs from when they started...

I moved my girls into an out building they are not happy. I’m sure it is confusing for them but the air quality in Portland is awful. I cannot be outside for more than a few minutes before my eyes itch, my throat hurts and have a headache. I can’t imagine how they feel after three days of the...
