Been out in the yard that last few days cleaning up coops, rearranging, getting ready for spring, etc. I find it quite funny that Duncan, my silkie roo is becoming quite the pimp since I moved the two orpington hens into the silkie coop. He no longer stays behind with Pearl and the chicks while thy're out free ranging. Instead he ventures off with the big girls to parts of the yard he's never been to before. - Over near the stream, the front yard, under the deck to deck to take a dust bath...And I'm hoping this is just normal in determining a new pecking order, the bigger girls will pick on Pearl every once in a while and when they do he goes after them like, Hey! Thats still my girl! LOL It's so funny to watch them out there. So far everyone is doing fine and there have been no injuries.
