And @BY Bob you could not have chosen a better facial expression for hats.

Lilly always has that look. It cracks me up. I know it's silly but my wife and I had great fun putting those together. I'm glad everyone is enjoying them.
 
A big thanks to brudda Bob! Look who’s on the roost tonight... she is the little black bum in the middle.. front row...

I let her out of jail around 3:00 today and she stayed off the nests... just had to make sure she went to roost... I did not realize that it would be so quick... I was also surprised by how fast Mal went too..
 
A little more bedtime fun and games... Most of my new girls (17 weeks) have figured out the roosts, except tonight the Black Copper Maran with the iridescence and one buff lady with cheek puffs and light feathers on her feet/shanks who didn’t make it up. They haven’t been broody, just not getting the whole “roosts” thing. Perils of using the meat tractor to grow them out in?

Of course, it has to be Mr Marans tractor... the door/ramp is about 1-2” too narrow for me to easily get my torso in. Shoulders go in just fine but there’s two little problems between them and my waist. I can actually get my hips through Chickie Heak and Mr Eyebrows doorways, if I suck in my “beer baby” although it does take some acrobatics (that was last night’s fun!). And of course the Marans floor-rooster was in the far corner. I got her up, with lots of squeezing twisting and shimmying so I could get far enough in to reach her. I’ll admit to a slight tail grab and gentle pull, before she realized and grabbed the floor, but by then I had her with both hands.

I have learned from this wonderful site. It is accumulated knowledge. I will take the credit however! :D

I'm glad it worked for you as well. I was prepared when the time came and I am certainly happy Maleficent went so well. I was not really sure with her being my first.
