Well, he still loves Abby and Alice, and when Louie Louie was still with the flock he took a good share of their feathers out. I had to put a saddle on Alice, and it's really strange to see little Abby's neck feathers gone on one side. All this, and Queen Bee's injury, is why Louie Louie is in his own coop and run,
by himself, until he gets a little older and calmer.
Alice, Abby and Mad Hatter are my 3 lavenders, so they hang together all the time, and Pippi allows it. But, God forbid Mad should get close to one of Pippi's other girls.
I do have a couple very young Lavender's growing up now and wonder if they will join Mad's flock. They have just come out for the first time today to hang with everyone. There is a small door for them to escape back through that the bigs can't get through, but so far so good. They are wandering around like a little flock of their own. Two of them are cockerels.

The cockerel challenges never end.
