BYC Café

[Shadrach]

Good morning! Thanks for the coffee! I am in some sort of gear, maybe reverse as the breeze is still rocking out there!

Reverse can be good. After all, it's still a direction and that's better than Mr sourland is doing.

Some of them, absolutely.

Three of the originals always roost together in the same location; Amelia, Astrid and Olivia. It's their spot and one of them claims it every night well before any others arrive to roost and all three will be found there. Astrid is my BA and the pile was of black feathers.
When Astrid brought her first brood up, Olivia and Amelia had to scooch down a bit to make room for them. That's Oliva on the end looking at Tate. Ameilia was next to her.
Their spot. Period.

******* chickens! A bit of digging is one thing but this is taking the piss!

My chickens will dig holes like that sometimes. I just put a little fireplace ash in it for their dust baths.

They are master excavators!

'Park' is not necessarily bad.

That looks like an attempted jail break to me

That post was upright before she started digging.
It's a joke, honest.

Ha! I didn't even notice the fallen post.
I had them dig under an upright cinder block and nearly tipped it over.
