Chickens in the Run... Sorta

[TwoCrows]

Today we got our first True Blue egg! View attachment 3588527

GORGEOUS eggs, congrats! ❤

Anyone want to guess what this contraption isView attachment 3589126 (Besides my flock's 19th week birthday gift from me)?

Hmmm...a xylophone?

Thank you!

And I can see what you're seeing, but nope. I made them a place to sit in the run. (Instead of the 2x4s between 2 BRIGHT RED chicken transport crates) It got too dark to take a picture of it in the run, but I will tomorrow.

Second thought, if I could train them to play the xylophone I could take this show on the road

Wow! Those will make excellent roosts for the run!! Don't know why my mind went xylophone. But yeah, you need to train your birds to play them, would make a fun road show!

Thank you so much! It's been an adventure for sure. I keep seeing things I want to add!

I don't know if they "get" the new roost yet...my guess is I'll see Gracie or Madelyn on it first...

Nice! You may need to start them by putting one of them up there?

It's a bit toasty today in West Virginny...So everyone is standing in one of their water trays...in other words there will be poop in the pool!
