That's one lucky duck!

Ok, I see now why leaving the chickens to work it out might not be a good idea! Creatures of habit.

Last night just as full darkness was coming in, all the chickens were roosted. Hens in the henhouse, pullets in the little coop. Lifting the pullets and placing them on the roost in the henhouse was easy.

But I put them down the wrong way round. Peggy likes to really snuggle in to Ivy, which pushed Ivy nearly all the way into Sandy, then Sandy had to peck. So next time I'll place Peggy closest to the hens so that she pushes Ivy away from them.

I set my alarm and was able to watch over them as they woke up. As the pecking started, I opened the door to let everyone scamper.

So I think it's going ok so far, but I'll do better tonight.

@Aussie-Chookmum I forgot to mention the best part! Cuddling tbe pullets before putting then down. They are so very soft and warm!

Nothing beats a good chicken snuggle!!! Anna has chosen to take Stanley to school tomorrow. He'll be getting lots of snuggles in the car. I'll be sure to post lots of pictures.

I'm so excited to set these eggs and take Stanley in. I've been having some very rough days lately, so I need to do something else to take my mind off of things.

I'm very sorry to learn you've been suffering lately at least there's the school hatchalong project to occupy your mind. I know it's not much, but better than nothing. All the best, friendo.

That is a good start. You have to learn as well.

I used the share icon on the posts to copy each post's url, then I used the link icon when editing the index post. The link icon wanted the url and the displayed text.

Is it a new byc feature? I don't remember it from the old byc.

I have no idea, but thanks.

Watch Stanley on the car ride. Mine seem to love riding in the car. I bet Stanley does as well.

They seem to be closer friends today. Perhaps I'm imagining it, but they seem more together and peaceful than yesterday.
