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.

At least she knew her chicken-daddy would look after her. :hugs
 
Tsuki was driving the youngsters out of the coop again this evening.
I had to hold her in my lap until it was quite dark and the younger girls had a chance to roost.

The man has a couple of weeks in December off. Maybe we will get a chance to build a bigger coop for them so Tsuki can't reach the door from the perch.
 
This reminds me of the “gravy” vs “sauce” debate.
Growing up in my world (Bethlehem, PA), in a Catholic-ITALIAN family, GRAVY was the brown to off-white (various shades) dressing that we made from pan drippings, butter, corn-starch or flour.
SAUCE was the dressing we put on pasta mostly, and was made from tomatoes and various spices, and may or may not include ground meat.
You will hear people hotly argue that the tomato preparation is gravy, and it is not!
:old :rant
Same in my family. But as far as I know we don't have any Italian blood. :confused:
 
What’s her molting status, Bob? Any other reason she wouldn’t belaying? Impending winter, perhaps?
Only Aurora is laying right now. I'm sure it is daylight related. Polish are unreliable layers in general. Phyllis is mostly done molting. She still has pin feathers on her head but everything else looks good.
