Well, that was easier than expected! On a chance, I managed to have all the pullets INSIDE the tractor except one, so I herded the last one in and shut the auto door and unplugged it. Then I went to catch Monkey (which took a little while, but he was very good once I got him). I haven't held him since he was a lot younger - I kept him because of his size and shape (had not planned to keep any Marans boys), and he has grown well. I weighed him by the subtraction method with me on the bathroom scale, and he's a respectable 8.5-9 pounds. He's also built really well.

He really is a very sweet boy.




He's in there now, trying to figure out what to do with the pullets. He's been mature and ready for girlfriends for ages, but now that he has them, they're just looking at him like "as if". Poor fella, he's making little sad sounds like he missed his bachelor pad. Sorry bud - now you have to WORK if you're gonna live under my roof.

(While they're locked in there, it'll give me a chance to fix and redo their paddock, and also see if I can get some control over the mud in there - it's a dirt bowl...)

Health check is showing signs that what I thought was dirt on the new sultans a few months back is actually red mites, and is multiplying, albeit slowly. I give up. :he
