All My Chickens..... a coop opera!

Sorry, slow responding. Did you see it?
I always start with watched threads and then if I am bored I just browse new posts which takes me broader than the ones I am watching.

That’s okay, I found it.. finally

They explored for about 15 minutes and headed back inside for the rest of the day
I think the wide open sky freaks them out

I think its the ""something new"" and they went back to their known spot
IN NO TIME THEY WILL LUV FREE-RANGE.

Yes! I’m sure… it always takes them awhile to start exploring… actually, I find that more so with the bantams…

Yall, I have been keeping Erma and Blue in quarantine… for two weeks now. Blue has ratty feathers and looks kinda ill… and has been like that since I brought them home. Erma seems totally fine… do yall think it could just be something specific to her? Maybe that is just her way… cuz I can’t imagine what she would have. The lady kept her place immaculate and they had been inside her chicken room which is a bedroom in her house… you would never have guessed that she had chickens in there.. zero smell! Every chicken was gorgeous and her outside chickens were just as beautiful! And every pen was spotless! Any thoughts…

I am dying to integrate!

Okay, so I talked with BruddaBob about Blue and she apparently has the feather shredder gene that lavender birds can have just like Hattie does.. so… whew!!
Anyway, I decided to integrate them yesterday and little, teeny, tiny, Blue went to fighting every chick in there she is the smallest of everyone too!
But at bedtime Erma and Blue were snuggled up right next to everyone else! I will try to get a pic tonight.. but here they are just enjoying themselves

Does she act ill? Is she eating good and being active? It might just be her feathers. It's so hard for us to know without spending time with her.
