Wish I had had my camera with me. I opened up the nest boxes on the terrorist coop to get the eggs and there sits a rir hen looking at me with her butt facing the inside of the coop. She puffed herself up, fanned her tail out and growled at me. The look on her face was priceless! Just like the mad bluebird print that was going around last year! I couldnt help but laugh, seeing her broodiness all up in wings and positively exuding her fury at being disturbed! I took her eggs anyways. No babies right now!
I finished all 4 coops, three of which I did a complete cleanout. Of course I wasnt thinking when I was putting the shavings in the diva coop to put up the puppy pen first. Duh! I had to lift up the bottom and hand shovel all the shavings inside the pen so I could open it like I wanted. Nothing like creating more work for yourself. Anyways, I had lots of instructions, directions and inspections from the girls, especially about what was going into their coop. Wait till they see their new roommates...hehehe. If all goes well, then the brooder gets put away. Just have to work on escape proofing their run better. The ladies are "too mature" to get out of the small gaps but these little rir;s spend their days looking for ways to escape. I am hoping that my three year old hens will help these newbies learn some manners and proper chicken etiquette.
I will try to get pics tomorrow. I am terrible at taking them but the kids look so good now that I have to share. Off to go do more work now as I have to work tomorrow again.
Nice pics Lynzi!
She's still in there, flat as a pancake. Very sweet tho, no growling or biting. She seems to be hoarding only the leghorn eggs too.
