Holy moly!
At long last, our poor chickens are finaly off the dining room table and into their new home.
Still got to build the run and paint everything, but they were getting way too cramped in the Sterilite brooders.
And, we were way too over the chicken dust!
I'm curious to see if the kids' coughs clear up next week. ^__^;
Putting all 10 chickens in for the first time was such a rewarding feeling.
Watching them explore the little world I created for them was sooo fun.
And then...
...the 2 Polish Tophats shattered the serenity and started summarily kicking the SHNIKIES outta everyone!!!
Then, they wheeled on eachother.
And whoever got beat up immediately started beating up whoever else - and they're all screeching and making new noises.
That was NUTS!!!
;
I... guess that's normal - pecking order, and all.
Read about it.
Witnessed it.
Anyhoo, they're all huddled up sleeping now.
So, I guess they got that sorted out. ^____^
I'll post pics later.
