Congrats on the new babies. They are Sooooooooo, cute! Makes me want Babies! I must control myself. LOL!
Menmyrc, BYC is a great place to hang out.
I had a big surprise a couple of days ago. My Sultan Roo had been living in a large Parrot cage. The other chickens, including his flock mates picked his feet until they bled. He had to spend time in ICU. Put him back with his flock, and they started pecking and beating him up. The all hated him. Any how, all the chickens free range during the day when I am home. They would come around his cage and hang out with him. I would open the door for him so that he could come and go as he pleased. He went out 3 times, and 3 times all the chickens went after him. I could leave the door open after that and he would not even try to come out.
I was moving his cage around and lifted the cage up and before i could put it back, he jumped out. I let him. I hate to see him caged all the time and he is missing out on all the green stuff coming up.
Louie-Lu-Li became a Rooster. Bat Man ran after him right away and the fight was on. Louie, would not back down this time and ran Bat Man off. He then marched over to the girls and took charge, and settled the pecking order right then and there. A site to see! Now Willy Nelson hearing all the noise, came running over. I thought for sure he would hurt Louie. They had a face off. Lots of feather puffing and staring eye to eye. Now Willy is a nice Rooster and he accepted Louie into the flock. The big girls tried to push Louie around and he said NO MORE! I am a Rooster! He did his dance around them and they did what he was telling them.
I was wondering what he would do at bed time. When I checked, he was in the pen where he had always been. Only he was roosting on the roof of the playhouse coop. I picked him up and put him on the roost bar inside the house. He set right down and closed his eyes.
It sure looked like he was walking taller this morning. I am so proud of him and pleased.
