B737 jinxed me when he stopped by. He pointed out an opening in the ceiling in the coop and asked if the birds ever went up there. I said that they hadn't.
So as I was closing up the garage, I noticed that the little chicks were missing. They had been on the roost 1/2 hour earlier. Then I spotted them...


Yup, they found the opening in the ceiling. I imagine, come morning, that they will be on the wrong side of the wall. Uggos are explorers!

Oh, and nice of you to drop in to the WAr thread. I felt the same way about trying to read all you guys posts - daunting!

Mom2, have you heard from Juise? I tried giving her a jingle earlier to find out about DF situation, but just got her machine. Hope she got the answer she needed from them.

Uggos are the 14 week old chicks that I got from Mom2emAll about 7 weeks ago. I forget what the crosses are but they were the UGLIEST chicks that I had ever seen. I think that they are part turkhen and cockatoo and based on size, some ostrich gene mutation.

And despite their size, they have shown that they can escape under a gate with a clearance the size of a brick.

Hello tomzinke and welcome to the thread .

Hey Olive - what kind of a deal did you make ?

 

[RaZ]

The spy window says that there are people here. Why is no one talking?
I gave up a night of dancing with girls half my age. Just to spend some quality time with you guys.

How is this for a conversation starter?

Hey RaZ.

I am thinking you need a large rooster statue with a audio box and motion sensor... Aimed the neighbors direction... hehehe

Sorry RaZ. It took me a few minutes to catch up. Don't you love the power of suggestion, though? I bet the uggos would never have known they had an escape route if it hadn't been pointed out.
Kind of reminds me of where 3 of the bantams I have decided to sleep at last night. I got home a bit after it got dark and they were nowhere to be found. The bigger chickens were already in their coop. I searched all over with a flashlight and finally found them on the roof outside my daughter's small window. Absolutely no way to get them down. Crazy birds.

Ya know, My 4 mutt ducks eat more than my 12 junior chickens do. Actually, I think the eat/waste more than all my chickens do in one day, and there are 28 of those suckers.

The are so much fun though. Have you tried cutting up/shredding lettuces for them yet? or are they too young still? Shredded zucchini too.
