Was quietly working on a commissioned quilt piece in my craft room/office on this bright sunny day when I hear, "thump, thump, thump". I look out my window and see Isaac and five of his hens (Maretta is raising chicks in a separate place), followed by Deacon, touring my wraparound covered porch. The thumping sound was Isaac's all too familiar Hitler march, LOL. They don't usually go all the way around, but for some reason, Ike acted like something was very different and he had to take the girls on a guided tour, stopping at each door and window. His feet are healing up nicely after his frostbite incident, though he's lost the tip of one inner toe and will likely lose the same part of the inner toe on the other foot. He's in fine spirits, good weight and full voice.

They look like they are enjoying a nice quiet Sunday afternoon porch sitting!!! Well, standing. But they must know what the porch is for!

I think you should do as ChickenNeighbor has suggested and invite them in for tea.

His feet are much, much better. He was the ONLY one with any frostbite in all four coops and only on his feet, which I know for sure was due to his bad circulation/arthritis and those are from age, him being over 5 years old now. Here is a close up of his feet. You can see where he lost the end of the inner toe on his left foot and the right foot will follow suit, most likely, but they are really doing well. He also lost a chunk from the underside of the right middle toe and part of a couple of toenails. Seriously, they look like the feet of a different rooster entirely, but it took a lot of care and time. Ike's a special guy. Couldn't lose him to that, for goodness sake!
