You were all right. So I decided last night was the last time I would keep them separate. Thanks too everyone for keeping me on the right track.Wonderful. I am sure it will go well. The seem to be getting on just fine so far! Let us know what you find when you wake up.
We live and learn as the old saying goes
Ok, then pop the cork and pour it over the nose! She's not properly named without some kind of ceremony. I'd suggest Henrietta's favorite beverage (Dr. Pepper), but I don't think you want the sugar residue or the ants on your beloved metal feathered bird.And put dents in the aircraft aluminum clad nose? No way!
The ants would be really clever and super strong hanging onto Alex's plane.
Where in the coop are you thinking about putting wood ash Marie and more importantly why?
True.
Not quite as stupid as it reads.Or be a chicken yourself
This is going well, Bob. High hopes there will be no dramas @ all.First Morning Together
Nothing bad happened. Phyllis got up and started pacing the coop wanting out with the other hens. She does not normally leave the roost until the automated door opens and today was no exception. She heard the automated door open and hoped down wanting out. So I let her out right away.
The littles did not leave the nest box until she had left. Here they are coming out.
Right away they decided to have breakfast.
It was actually a no drama morning.
Of interesting note. If you look hard at the video of Phyllis leaving the coop you will see a broken egg. It appears that poor Phyllis laid while on the roost last night.
Maggie takes for forever in the nest box and because of her history I am always anxious when she isn’t around. I think she just wants some ‘me time’. I totally empathize with that need so I try to leave her alone.
