Today is day 3 of jail for Angus. He's been crowing all morning because the girls are in the big yard and he's alone, not even any visitors. He keeps knocking over his water, punk.
I think Lucy is faking the broody bit. She has suddenly discovered that Angus is in jail and now she's out first thing each morning and out again in the afternoon. Still clucky, but up and out with her sisters. We had the Angus supporters, Cuckoo and the 4 red girls plus Lacey, and those that didn't dig him at all, the 3 bigs plus my tween white gal. Now they're all hanging out together as a group and only the 5 non layers separate themselves. I'm hoping after the extras are gone this weekend that Lacey joins in more with the older girls.
There was a pigeon out by the coop and the big girls killed it; all it took was one to get irritated and start the assault and the rest joined in. I gave them mealworms as a treat afterward and told them they're good girls.
I bought 2 more kiddie pools and cut them down, now there are 3 and they're using them all. I still wet down a section of yard daily because they like to lay in the cool dirt.
Hopefully my AC eggs will ship today. This should be a decent time for them to travel with our cooler temps. If I get confirmation today I'll be setting up the incubator so it's ready when they get here.
