They actually gave me a couple of 2fer besties pics this morningView attachment 3200188
Nox and Belladonna keep roosting together (slightly unusual as Nox heads off with either the adventurous Littles or around the fringes of the adults while Belladonna plays shy and stays close to the Russian olive trees)

Blanche and Thing never roost together, but have hung out together much of the time since they were fluffy chicks.


And a pullet/hen size comparison (Nox and Mera started growing comb/wattles but are still pink rather than red so couple weeks away from POL)View attachment 3200189

Those are really good pictures.

how did you tame your chickens to be this friendly with you?

Food

They are very food motivated. Then after awhile they just start hanging out with you. Of course it helps to practically live in the barn hahaha. Like any animal they need to be around you often, you become part of the flock.

Same here, normal summer stuff. I looove how it cools down overnight. But you and I live in the same neck of the woods. We pay for it in the long winter, though.

Prefer summer suffer in the cold… why can’t it just be 75f year round!!!

The Rock garden this morning:
There’s children across the highway, making the truckers honk their horns. I’m lucky to get this shot!
