I let 8 of the boys go. It sure seems empty out there, and quiet too! Now I know who the noise makers were. The ladies are more relaxed, they walk around in the yard now instead of hiding behind anything they can and I see new feathers on their back already. Blue Roo is much happier, because the trio that liked to pick on him has gone. Nugget for some strange reason has moved into the broody house with Charlotte! She is sitting on three tiny eggs in there and he jumped the fence and is staying with her. I guess with Duchess sitting on her nest, he needs company and just sits there with Charlotte and the two black Silkies in the pen with her.
