Everyone wins tonight!Just got home. And SUCCESS! Went to close and lock the coop, Arizona was perched right next to Dakota with all the other birds. (This is the first time she actually went into the coop without assistance to sleep) maybe I should go out on a date more often!
But you don’t feel well, ??? I hope you get better soonEveryone wins tonight!

Went to close and lock the coop, Arizona was perched right next to Dakota with all the other birds.

Straw will be going down too. I just ran out of energy. Had to get something down. Straw this weekend/next week along with setting up baby space so the hobbit girls, Sussex and Hector can get moved in. I don't want them in until the first at the earliest. Still have some snow storms ahead of us, but those shouldn't last long. that WAS the plan....now, I'm thinking wait until they've adjusted to the floor, turn it with a shovel just to break up some of the dirt a bit, then very light layer of straw.Oh you made me laugh out loud. I wonder how long it will take them to accept their new floor.
Oh so funny!
I tossed a handful of scratch and meal worms into it too. Only Twirp went for it.
They don't act like that over fresh straw! Looks like I'm going to have to keep a bale if shavings available, too, and alternate layers.....Floor is lavahonestly chickens are a little crazy, or maybe more than a little… I’ve used
Shavings since DAY 1, in the Chicken Trailer and every single time I shovel out the poopy ones it’s like I’ve got wheelbarrows full of treats or something; then when the “shavings fairy” puts the not dirty ones in, most of mine have similar reactions.and this is a regular order of business here. Even when I just too dress the shavings lightly between full clean outs
that might be easier to clean next time....
There is always 1 loiterer. Waiting a few more min seems to help. Sometimes it seems like the loiterer is waiting for some of the inside kerflufle to settle down. Last night was a bit of an exception around here....the lava floor...Just got home. And SUCCESS! Went to close and lock the coop, Arizona was perched right next to Dakota with all the other birds.

Agatha is usually waiting for me at night. Maybe for the rest to settle but she's always around me when I'm outside
