I believe that @RoyalChick and I are both using Arlo wireless battery powered security cameras, right RoyalChick?

Yes - I went with the @BY Bob camera set up. It is expensive but I am loving it. I have 3 cameras - one outside looking at predators and one on the nesting boxes (the chicken side of the kitchen cabinet) and one on the roost.
Maggie has investigated the camera up-close-and-personal but didn't harm it.

Smooth Launch this Morning

No pecking noted this morning. I did watch Sansa groom in front of the mirror and the Sydney check herself out. Phyllis waited for the door to open before she came down.

Easy Peasy.

Another Integration Sign

I just watched Sydney now down and submit to Lilly. She held the position for a while and then got up with a quick peck.

We are moving along nicely while free ranging.

And another Sign of integration

All 6 resting together. Notice Hattie is at the junction of the 2 groups.

Feather-dos Ruined by Rain

What happens when you stand out in the rain and have fancy feathers.

Of course. Phyllis

Go Hattie!

Go Hattie!

They are getting enormous amounts of free range time with me being home. I really believe all that free space is really helping. They don't need to hang out together but look at them Chosing to hangout together.

Hi folks. Sorry I’ve been MIA. My SIL was visiting, we’ve been crazy swamped at work (I work for a public school district and we’re staying on top of coronavirus status and messaging) and I’ve been a bit sick myself. Today is my big 5-0 birthday. Look at the cute card a work friend gave me and the adorable cake my sisters did for my surprise party DH threw last weekend. Yep . I’m a true Chicken Lady.
