From egg to chick!

I need to get a video of it. Professor Snape has been following me closely lately. Like if I am walking around he will run up when I'm not looking, but when I see him he will start pecking the ground. I hope he isn't gonna attack bc I will lovingly shove his face in the dirt real quick.

As for Captain Hook, my neighbor's roo and my adopted baby, he coos at me, then prances towards me with his head lowered. Like a little cha cha side step dance. It's honestly cute. But same for Hook. He tries to attack? Face full of dirt. With love of course.

Not trying to say anything negative is going to happen, but Orchid does the same thing to me. He follows me around and when I turn around to look at what he's doing, he just stands there staring off in the distance like he totally wasn't following me. He's definitely not following me out of friendliness, so I would suggest paying attention to Snape.

If a rooster is wing-dancing at you, that is a clear sign of aggression. There is only one exception to this, and that is when the rooster is very cuddly with you. If he loves you a lot and he wing-dances at you, then that's affection. If not, then that's definitely the opposite of affection. I hear my males do what I have named the "courtship purr" before they attempt to mount a hen and wing-dance at her. I have heard over-friendly roosters do the courtship purr to their owner.

Where am I being herded too? Is it bc I bring treats and they want more? Lol. "Hey. Bald featherless one. Go this way. Come on. Go back in that place with the treats."

I think it means he is trying to herd you away from the hens? I'm not sure.

Single digits this morning but it's supposed to get up to 43 today! The warmest we've had in over a week! And, we're supposed to get into the mid to high 60s on Friday, talk about a temperature shock! That's a 70 degree temp swing in a few days hang in there chickies!

Got down to 24 last night. For South Carolina that's cold. And of course no snow. How unfair is that? It will be wet and in the 55 to 60 area starting Wednesday. Supposed to rain off and in til Saturday. Yay. My straw still isn't dried out from the last rain bc it's been so chilly. Might have to buy new straw if it doesn't dry out bc I don't want it getting gross. It's been super cold though so who knows.

Send some here. I am still upset it was 24 last night and 21 the night before. No snow. None. But it will rain this week and be warmer.
