This has worked out to an extent. When everyone else is laying around digesting, these are prowling the yard together quite frequently.

Pullets Take Flight

@Shadrach would like this one. We were over my friend JD's for dinner the other night and I was enjoying watching his three new pullets frolicking in the yard. They were chasing each other and just having all kinds of playful fun as we are on the deck enjoying our meal and socializing.

As the sun set, the three gathered on this chair set. I thought they might be planning to roost there.

Well maybe 2 of them did. The lighter colored one had other ideas. She kept sizing up a tree which was over them. I swear it was at least an 8 foot flight to get to the lowest branch.

Did I mention these pullets are very lean with leghorn like wing to body ratios.

Up she went. Then she started climbing higher.

Her two friends were not amused and yelled for her to come back down.

She did not. So they went into the coop without her. This caused her quite a bit of stress especially after getting so high in the tree.

Eventually she bit the bullet and flew down. It was not a glorious landing but she survived and joined her friends in the coop.

There was a lot of conversation among the humans as to how we would get her down. Thankfully peer pressure took care of it for us.

Our ol saying is, “any landing you can walk away from, is a good landing!”

That's said in most countries

I have not seen a grasshopper in my yard for years. I have been tempted to buy and release crickets in an attempt to repopulate the yard.

Good idea

Well, ended up getting a bonus mugs Monday video. It’s long, but I couldn’t help myself.

They are so sociable chatting away.

Please throw the ball for that adorable dog
