wait! and is that the one that was laying eggs in the collar thing?

weirdly the one that laid her egg up in the rafters never actually went on the roof. The roof flyer has grown up to be very pretty and I think she now thinks such shenanigans are not part of her image.

She isn’t above begging for treats though. Excuse my ugly work shoe.

she sure is pretty!

also. work shoes are meant to be ugly or you wouldn’t want to be working in them.

Don’t count on it.
One of mine went on the roof and was clearly terrified. But yup. She went back up! I think it may have been a dare.

It’s a necessity to be able to fly a bit to survive too. So its a good thing they practice to fly high.

I give my tiny Dutch a better chance to survive a dog or fox attack than the heavy bantam Amrocks. The Dutch can fly on top of the run, over the ivy hedge to the neighbours, in the pear and cherry tree. The Amrocks need the coop (halfway up) to get on top of the run.

louise (the boss) is a bit bigger than thelma and she’s always the first to fly, but tiny thelma always follows and then goes higher. i think she’s just showing off.
they hadn’t been going up on anything for months, but they are making up for it now
