These ones are making great progress!

I’m playing “run and hide” with the chickens today. Every time a KFC or Foster Farms truck goes by on the highway, we all run under the bushes.

I could have a bit of a rant if that would help clarify?

Yes. Just to reassure.

International rooster...feckin nightmare.

I am thinking maybe not hacked.

I spoke too soon. It seems that Arizona is not feeling well runny poop and a semi soft egg she laid last night. She seems energetic, but I’m not sure what to think about this soft shell, and poop problem (I took the situation to the emergencies/ cures forum) . She’s never been sick before.

She just wants to lay around in the yard She gets up and goes away, when I approach her. She was eating and drinking earlier. I will give her some time in the sunshine. (Maybe she’s just tired, and wants to nap.)

After the initial rush to get out and check what goodies I've brought is over, I clean out the coops (main and broody) do the water and sit in the chair you've seen in some of the pictures and watch for an hour or so. I'm there three or four hours each day in the afternoon until roost time.
Lima will come and get on my lap for a while. Quite a few of the others gather around the chair in shifts and stick their heads under their wings and nap.
Henry 11 has tended to keep his distance. This has changed a bit in the last week. Every night when he goes to roost on his bar outside the closed part of the coop I kneel down next to him on the ground and stroke his wattles and chest. He used to stand up and shuffle away. Now he stays still and closes the opaque eyelid. He came right up to the chair today and settled down with the hens for a while. Hopefully it wont be long before I can check him and treat him in daylight as he stands on the ground. This is what I try to aim for for all roosters.

The darker one is Legertha and she was on sentinel duty. Here she is checking the sky.
