Zooming in on her comb, there are two horns sticking out towards the end. Some comb gene expressing itself? or she's sold her soul?

So they are moved out to the coop and new worries set in. Did we do enough to keep em safe? Will the tinkering ever end? Will they figure out the ladder and how roost? Its a new era and I miss their sweet peeps in my living room. Here are a few pics from today while we finished it up. It is 8x16 and we will be closing in an 11x16 run next. Its not winning any design or beauty awards but hey it should serve well enough for the time being

Did you figure out how Gucci got trapped out ? I'm wondering if it would be any use to set lockdown a bit later ?

I was given a clue last night when she wound up under the main coop sleeping. If Betty, Aurora,and Sydney stay out late they are congregating around the ramp to the Cluckle Hut. Last night she refused to try and go through them. Betty is especially pecky.

So Gucci just went under the main coop and lay down. I'm guessing that if she was trapped in the big run by then, once they went to bed and Gucci went up the ramp, the door was already closed.

This is just a guess. I will watch again tonight.

I think

Yes, goats are an acceptable pony substitute.

We saw many families of these guys ( I think they are ibex in English?) during our mountains trek, they were reintroduced in the early 90s in our mountain chain. They have been protected and are now thriving, the wolves don't seem to predate them!

And days of staring I think Piou-pious tail is coming in! I would like to rectify that she is not sweet, however. She may be small but she is feral. She never comes near us, so two nights ago I tried to give her some treats in her nest before locking the coop - she screamed and BIT ME .
