Foggy and hot. You?

Not to shabby round here.

Apparently. The other articles talked about the fact that they see humans as predators, and will abandon the nest if a person gets too close. The article Chickencanoe linked mentioned how trusting they are of humans.

Interesting....berry berry interesting.

Okay, when they got caught. It isn't back up in the forties or fifties.

Duckling puts her cup and food on the ground. With poop. I don't want that in her mouth. Even sitting it in the dusty coop. If I forget it down there, and she puts it in her mouth the next trip down, she is likely to have dust, poop... Between the mice and the birds, it isn't clean enough.
She does share her food while she is at the table.

I am sorry about the malpo. Sometimes they make it, sometimes they don't. Obviously. Sorry for stating the obvious.

I suppose I'm slightly less worried, because mine free-range and there's less accumulation of stuff in the grass, then their coop. Not to say chicken's aren't dirty though, and I do tell her not to put her hands in her nose or mouth (she's a nose picker, who still eats boogers - I'm REALLY trying to break that habit. It's gross.) She only goes into the coop long enough to grab any eggs. My problem is my goats go into the chicken coop to eat the straw out of their nesting boxes, which has resulted in a couple of broken eggs. LOL

(which is a different story, then sharing popsicles.)

I'm a fan of letting the chickens eat misquitos, ticks and any other bugs they can find. We had some serious ant problems around our trees, and I'm really hoping the chickens can... take care of that problem for me at some point.
