We got the temporary paint pen set up last night in the aviary (backup pen w/ hutch).

Parker (I lightened him up as he looked filthy!)

and Spot

Why Spot is called Spot. She was the one with the spot between her eyes. It sort of moved. I've tried to think of a better name, but Spot stuck. They need a bath I guess lol.

And the aviary they're now in.

There is a clear tarp you can't really see around the whole thing, albeit the three closest panels. The door faces the four seasons pen across that sidewalk, so they get shelter from that side too. There's a fishtank heater in the Tupperware nipple waterer, and a Cozy Coop heater in the hutch.

This will yield 50% paints, the rest blacks and whites.

While I was getting the paints, the ducks didn't run away from me. Rare! Gerty looks a bit scruffy there.

The paints are beautiful, Debby! Those ducks are cuties too.

Thanks, Janie. I stood there for a minute or two talking to the ducks as I'm not used to them just standing there. Usually, if we get close, they waddle away. They're so comical!

Ember, black hen was added to this pen last night.

They are out today as the weather is so nice. I'd get a picture, but it's dangerous to go over by them right now. Ice is still everywhere. They don't seem to mind it.
