Baby outside spam!
They are acting way better, less fearful and behaving like chickens.

A cuddle puddle. I covered that corner up before leaving.

Creeping ever closer to my foot.

So tiny and peeping

Right before they started pecking my foot.

Look at those bell bottoms!!!


I grabbed each of them and popped them under the brooder, they stayed a minute or two to warm up then resumed chicken activities.

Biiiig stretch

The black cuckoo polish has einstein feathers right now.

The cardboard wall will provide a little more wind break for them, they're closed in on 3 sides with solid walls there in the back, and the brooder can sit nicely on the cardboard too.

I went out to grab the cardboard from broody jail and all seven chicks were dustbathing!

How darling.

The party has been moved to tomorrow morning because of some difficulties with attendees. It's going to be so much fun!

Terror fear anger angst extreme relief

This is what I went through when I went to do chores about an hr ago, walking to the barn and out pups Fluffy from the brush in front of the barn.

To say I ran to scoop her up was an understatement - I galloped across the yard. She didn’t even protest, she looked up at me and I know she was thinking ‘Hooman you’re a moron’.

I remember trying to get Mr P into the summer house and Fluffy running out between my legs, and I thought - I’ll just grab her after I get the Roo settled. Well I got distracted putting everyone else where they should be, and did my headcount of the main gang.

I really need to rehome Bert, having to move two flocks around is not working - I am not set up for separate flocks. And I don’t want to be. The two Roos are still fighting, through the fence now. Darn that Bert, and darn Mr P.

Is this what I will have to put up with when Mr LC come of age? How is it others have multiple Roos that get along? What on earth set Mr P and Bert off anyways? They were getting on really well. And it was like a switch went off. They just started fighting
