Lots of work to do.

“Get out of here daddy! We can figure out this arrangement by ourselves!” “Have steak and eggs ready in the morning!”
“Bye!”

They are so lucky to have you looking after them.

The day is finally done. The chooks have left the run. All are perched in their favorite places, with their smiling beaks covering their faces.

Tonight's Full Roosting in Cluckle Hut

I recorded tonight's roosting. I was not present in the run as I left them to it. The following 12 minute recording will start with Phyllis on the roost as Phyllis enters and end with everyone one where they will be for tonight's sleep.

For me the saddest part was Sylvie looking out the side door to see where I was to help her.

I will not tell you how it ends. Speed forward if you don't want to see the entire event.

Oh, Bob, that must have been heart wrenching for you(hugs for @BY Bob), as it broke my heart watching/hearing Sylvie...who just wanted a friend to roost next to.

I guess Phyllis' empathetic state has gone, and it is back to the status quo as far as she is concerned, now.

I did notice Sylvie looking out multiple times...where is daddy to help me?

I'm glad she did finally settle on the high roost, though. Maybe over time...or When Sylvie comes into lay, she will be able to roost next to Phyllis...unfortunately, that is a ways off....poor Sylvie (hugs for Sylvie)

Poor Sylvie. That was painful to watch, but YAY, Sylvie for figuring it out and finding a spot Phyllis will tolerate.

I just love Sylvie's dogged determination to roost on the high roost with Phyllis. The low roost is there but she did not take it.

Me, too. Her tenacity was fantastic!

Pardon my ignorance @Shadrach , but what is SLM?

I'm confident that mites and worms you can effectively deal with. ?What are you able to do for respiratory problems?

That's a lot you are dealing with, Shad. At least the SLM and worms are treatable. For respiratory issues, are you just trying to boost their overall health, in addition to keeping the coop clean?
