Sometimes they do funny things.Well, I think Helen is actually done. Last night she was roosting in the coop while her three 3-week-old chicks huddled in the rabbit hutch she has been using at night. Neither she nor they seemed particularly disturbed. This morning they went their own ways.
Indeed. For 2.5 hours this morning, Helen made no effort to find or assist her chicks, who made no effort to find her or stay with one another. They just moved around with the flock. I threw cantaloupe rinds out a little while ago as treats and that brought the four of them back together and Helen resumed mothering them. Mother Nature is messy, not cut and dry like we expect, I suppose.Sometimes they do funny things.
