Adorable. But also a gratuitous shot of Claudine!

Are all those feathers due to molting or something more worrisome?

That's what I was wondering. I hope it's molting.

The other night when I came home and Sammy was “missing” (little brat), I was frantically trying to find him and counting white bird butts and trying to get them to raise their little heads. DH was helping me look for him and said “I don’t see any big poofs of whit feathers”, right before he stumbled upon one! He was aghast and started to freak out... I said that was an old pile, from Sammy’s three sisters who are all shedding feathers like no ones business!

That's scary! I'm glad he was OK.

Thank you so much. One thing about the storm that IS a great memory was seeing how the pullets reacted to seeing snow for the first time when they came out the next morning. I will post that. But it is hard to hear your prediction, and also hearing the same from @Kris5902. Must be true! So I hope the chickens can survive ME!

They will survive you. They are tougher than they look.

Roosting Chaos

Complete chaos at roosting time tonight starting with poor Sydney being knocked down and thrown out. Then it was Phyllis turn. I was working on the front of the coop and Phyllis knew it.

It breaks my heart. She ran right over to me squawking.

I scooped her up and put her on her new high roost.

She stayed there.

I am going to try and lower it a little tomorrow.

Poor Phyllis! I wonder why this is all going on.
I know chickens squabble but this is beyond normal squabbling.

It really is and it has me flummoxed.
