Possibly both on the grass, though your chickens will move away before getting too hot. 😉
Your little girl looks like she may have a little mix, not hard to do. They are both beautiful and quiet the pair. ♡♡ it was definitely their lucky day when you decided to become a chicken keeper!
I also do a little cat work. Good to stay busy with the critters. Your yard is fabulous

lol thank you. I did say these two hit the jack pot being dumped here cause some other people on my block would've readily made them into soup 🤣 not that some of my cat's didn't try though. The chickens seem to love to dig in the grass pile and peck at and sometimes they hide behind the big mound but luckily it doesn't get too hot with the shade from the palms. I did start to think if the female lays eggs she might try to lay them back there.

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
What a gorgeous little pair that found you! You will certainly want to make them a secure coop to roost in at night to protect them from predators. I would build an open air coop.

Yes I need to build a coop but I'm pretty much on my own here neither my partner nor my uncle are too crafty with a drill lol I'm about to buy those plastic play houses for toddlers and call it a day 😂😂😂 They do need a coop though because we do have some falcon-hawk like birds here and one did a dive and swoop and grabbed at the male's tail! Right in front of me and my uncle ! he luckily squawked and ran so fast he got away but it was a little scary. I've always worried about my smaller cats with these birds- so now I worry about the chickens too!
