This is fabulous! You really do great work. You know how to make good use of space, and that is important.
So what color is it going to be? The blue, or an accent color?
Can you show us a picture of the whole complex as it is now?

We are thinking about going with a peach color for the Cluckle Hut. Mrs BY Bob needs to settle on the final color.

I will do a full video. I think that is a great idea.

The little tyrant has been named Corona or Rona for short. I guess being raised with 6 brothers you have to be tough, and she is. Of her group she is the dominate chick, they've learned not to pick on her unless they want a fight. Yesterday she pinned one of her brothers to the ground and stood on him for a few seconds.

Tough lady. Good for her.

“Windy Fire “ is 70% contained. That means…. There is still 30% of the forest left here to burn !

Tentative Integration Plan

It breaks my heart but the littles are too big to remain in the indoors brooder much longer. I'm going to miss their little voices and our evening perch time.

I have a basic outline of an integration plan. Phyllis roosting in the run, by her choice now, provides some opportunity and potential complications but I think I can make it work for me.

It is supposed to be chilly yet tonight so I will be moving the littles out tomorrow morning. I'm going to put an escape door across the nest boxes so they can get away from Phyllis. Then tomorrow night Phyllis will join them in the coop.

In the morning I will let Phyllis out and leave the littles in the coop alone. I will probably repeat that for several days. Then I will segment off the big run where the Cluckle Hut is and let the littles have access to the big run.

After they demonstrate that they will go to bed in the coop, then I will start providing evening access to the yard where the big girls roam.

All this time I will have Phyllis roost in The Hut with them each night. Provided nothing untoward occurs I hope to continue that through the full integration.

I will be moving the heat block out for the littles. I expect they will sleep under it at first before roosting. Additionally I have purchased a coop heater as it will be getting pretty chilly and I don't want anything happening to them.

What does everyone think of the plan?

Oh Bob I’m so sorry,You’d better go and visit Phyllis a lot,You’ll never beleive how much Lilly though all her roughness,though all her not trusting me and all,though not her liking me much and all get depressed and stops eating if I’m not there.I witnessed it by myself.At least they’re going to be near you.

Hen Fight!

Not really. Got you to read!

Actually there has been a lot of fence fighting this morning between Phyllis, Sansa and the littles, most specially, it seems to be Legertha.

I keep trying to get video. Here is a video of Phyllis and Legertha beak to beak. I saw no fence pecking here.

Interestingly I did see Aurora step between Phyllis and the littles at one point. She continues to show no aggressions towards the littles at all.
