Okay yall! It’s a good thing that I’m such a nervous nelly! Thank God that I check on these chicks often! I went out to check on em and Lucy and Camille were out eating and drinking.. so I went digging for Ethel..black one.. well, you won’t believe it unless you saw it.. she was tangled in Nilky’s feathers! Strangling her! There was a piece of mulch that was twisted in there and she had gotten her head tangled! Literally she was hanging by her neck! I had to carefully rip the feathers out if Nilky without strangling Ethel!! When I got her free I had to take feathers that were tight around her neck off:th.... I was shaking like crazy! This was her after.. I think she was a bit shakin up too!!!

Flock Update:

Well today was interesting with the flock. I emptied out the shed of all the tools and other items on the floor and let the big ones kinda wander a bit. When they were getting a bit much i gently shoo'd them into their safe place.
Then I fenced off a corner with me in it and let the baby babies out to wander a bit too. That was a lot of fun! At first the big ones scared them as they could see each other through the cage, so they huddled in the corner. So i wouldn't scare them more I scooped a bit of their food and scattered it beside me. I gently tapped the food and said "cluck" softly and did a bit of a purr as well. it was hilarious as Smoked came toddling toward me and realized i was "safe". We did this for about 20 minutes and then i scooped them up, purred and put them back. They were exhausted! LOL!! Next time i'll remember my camera :wee:ya:jumpy
 
Some pictures from a few days ago. My phone has been messing up the last couple of days, otherwise the pictures would have been posted earlier.

So. Many. Eggs. Roughly 8 12-18 sized cartons mostly full. Plus the almost full flat of duck eggs. I think most of the ducks are laying now. Two 18 packs of standard and bantam chicken eggs are going to two of my aunts. And both are also getting a half dozen duck eggs.
