Between leaving for work in the dark and having to cook dinner immediately when I got home I haven't seen my flock in the daylight today. So I took some bedtime pictures while I was closing them up.
About 1/3 of the babies have decided to sleep on top of the playpen near the lower-status POLs (and Ludwig, the 5-month-old cockerel).
I'm afraid that the other babies are going to get pooped on, but I can't do anything about that tonight.
And the adults. Popcorn, the SLW on the left end, continues to try to sleep in the nests and I continue to put her on the roost.
Dumpling, the Brahma at the right, used to be her floor-sleeping companion in the old coop, but had adopted the roost as long as she can get the position right next to the ramp.
