What a beautiful ladder! You MADE it?

Only partially. It was an old and definitely not safe wood ladder that was left abandoned in the barn when I moved here. I added rungs so it was better for little chicken legs and then painted it blue (which of course with all the chicken poop you can't really see!).

LOVE it & love the ingenuity of repurposing!

16 weeks today. It's a pointy feather longer than the others, but her comb is very small and not bright red like his is, and is like the other pullets. She doesn't have shiny saddle or hackle feathers yet either.

If she was a he, you would be seeing more roo characteristics. My hens/pullets with slightly curved tail feathers - those tend to be a bit longer than the others, but not as long as a rooster's flag feathers. Her tail feather is well within the length of a hen's slightly curved & longer tail feather.

Does it get migratory birds?

Yes, mostly Canadian geese. I haven’t figured out how to charge them rent quite yet. I keep hearing “just put it on our bill!”
They never pay!

A new addition to our tribe, momma is shown in the picture, daddy must be Mr Wyandottey. That’s an interesting mix. And this little one is so cute. That makes an even 20 in my tribe.
