I hate show prep. 8 birds to pull feathers from, one of which is very fast if you have the misfortune of letting him escape. I feel like my chickens hate me... But on the bright side, all those feathers will be back (and very pretty) when fair comes around. All the silkies are moved to the small cages, with 2 inches of shavings each. Food, water... they all look happy. Or sleepy, in the case of Rika. The dutch went to a large plastic dog crate (the dutch roo is the fast one) with a perch and about 3 inches of shavings. Now the entire area smells of pine, and i'm covered in feathers, scratches from wiggling chickens, and im exhausted. All in all, a productive day!
