I would be exhausted too if I was them!Roosting from 12/28
I have been working on this series of roosting videos from before Sansa passed. With how everyone roosted last night I thought I would finish this up now. There is a series of video clips showing how the process goes. Be prepared, Aurora does not come out well in the end.
Clip 1
This shows the process beginning at 4:22 pm with Lilly and Sansa roosting. Notice that Lilly chooses the spot that was Daisy's.
Clip 2
In this clip Sansa moves to the other end of the roost and leaves Lilly behind. This has me wondering if Sansa isn't the reason Lilly roosted on the high roost..
Clip 3
This clip shows Lilly on the high roost and Sansa now alone on the main bar.
Clip 4
Hattie now comes in and roosts.
Clip 5
Sansa joins Lilly on the high Roost
Clip 6
This is a very long clip. In the end, everyone is roosted Sansa and we are not finished yet, not by a long shot.
Clip 7
Aurora forces Hattie down and Sansa gets up.
Clip 8
Aurora, having knocked both Sansa and Hattie of the roost finds her way to the high roost.
Clip 9
Sydney has jumped over to main roost to escape Aurora. Hattie roosts and Aurora gets down to chase her back out. Sansa comes in and roosts on main bar while Sydney gets back up high.
Clip 10
Aurora gets down, wanders into a nest box, and then chases Hattie out of the coop. Hattie comes back in to roost. Aurora then chases both Hattie and Sansa off the main roost.
Clip 11
We jump ahead a little. Aurora jumps to high roost, Sydney is knocked down. She decides to eat and drink and then gets back on the high roost.
Clip 12
For whatever reason, the high roost does not suit Aurora. Instead she jumps down and takes Daisy's old spot. Hattie runs down the roost away from her. These will be their final roosting locations. Aurora must have been tired from all that pecking and chasing.
