It looks intact. I will only know if something is missing when I get to the end.

Tribe 2 came around to the house early evening. Treacle had gone off with Fudge, Tackle and Hurry leaving the rest at my house. Cillin arrived a while later and Tribe 2 moved on.

So Bumblebee is a normal rambunctious teenager. I've taught him respect to me and people but the girls have been lacking on doing their job. So he thinks its appropriate to come barreling towards one as soon as they lay their egg and leave and they will submit to him. That all changed this afternoon. Henrietta is a no nonsense hen and demands respect from her rooster. I was outside when she left the nest box and Bumblebee spotted her. Here he comes charging along and Henrietta let him have it. Instead of squatting, she met him head on. A angry bawking basketball of feathers chased him around for a good 2 minutes. When she was done and Bumblebee was put in his place, a lightbulb clicked in his little pea brain head. He starts tidbitting to her. Found a pile of whole corn I'd threw out and was picking up pieces and offering them. She had her snack, then he did the proper rooster dance and he was rewarded for his efforts. Hopefully this clicked with him and he does this with the other hens as well. I suspect though, it may take a few more beatings from Henrietta, but that is ok. She enjoys putting other chickens in their place. During all this Drumstick didn't even care, he was too busy guarding momma hen and bunny as they were laying their eggs.

I have old example of this as Patsy first knocked Jabberwocky off of Hattie. When Jabber took umbrage, Patsy took care of the situation and put him in his place. There is no sound.

Chickens today, 18F. I'm just going to put up chicken tax pictures when I'm able to!
Butters on the right, Peanut next to her eating snow. I think it's probably Hazel (with Queenie) in back as she's been reluctant to go out.

Butters and Peanut. Peanut is blinking with her inner eyelid. I like this picture because it shows their nice breast feathering.

That's Moon from Tribe 1 in the yellow coop. She about average size for Tribe 1.
If you look at the size of the black bantam hens it gives a good idea of the difference.
You could get all three bantam hens into Fat Bird!
