@igorsMistress I hope that will be enough color for you! Doesn't he look just like his daddy Roger?

He does! I can't get over how big he is. What do you feed your flock?

Ace Hi feed from Chitwood's over here. They are even started out on that brand as newly hatched, because I like how fine it is ground. They don't choke on it. I make wet feed from the feed also. They start pigging out as babies. Then as they get a bit older, they graduate to the Ace Hi crumble's.

@igorsMistress It look's like they are starting to explore the new home.

Yup. The roo has options for roosting but he's a bit uptight. I had to come inside and let them figure it out.

Update on the newbies. Everyone was on the roost last night. The chicks were roosting with the newbies and the bigs were grumbling in their usual spots. I was out just after first light to let everyone out. Newbies ate in the coop yard, bigs ate in the main yard, chicks ran back and forth between the two.

It sounds like everyone is getting along ok, that makes things nicer for both them and you!

I've been busy all morning getting the yard raked, chickens fed and watered, patios swept. I planted some grass seed in the dog yard, transplanted mint to a pot that previously held some nasturtiums and put some Greek oregano in the ground. Shrubs in the backyard have been fertilized as well. Cleaned up the kitchen and made the boys clean up the living room. I can't stand a messy kitchen, it makes me

which is what I did. My daughter is mad at me but I cleaned up Hop Tarts pen and watered my inside plants after transplanting one to a larger pot. Time for a fresh cup of coffee before I get back to work. Weeds in the front yard need pulling

ETA in my purging mood again today. I'm sick of dusting a couple of small tables so I ordered 3 plant stands that match one I have in the living room. Tables will go to Goodwill and plants will go in the stands in front of the window instead.
