danielle, if you don't have alot of property its best not to have willows of any sort, they hunt water with the roots even being able to crack pipes, enough roots block the pipes so that nothing goes thru them, (plumbers wife
lol.png
) i'm not allowed to have willows around close to the house, had some of the curly limbs given to me , needless to say, they went to the very back of the acres, don't know if they grew of not, don't go down there very often

isn't this the cutest little puddle of feathers you've ever seen? I had them shut in the main run today and sprinkled treats up the ramp to get them to climb it. A few of them did and then they realized there was a big roost up there (in the run) that they could jump to. After a while, I grabbed mama and each of the babies and threw them in the coop so they could check it out. Well, that was at 2:30 and apparently Cloud thought it was bedtime so she called everyone over to one of the nest boxes and snuggled in lol. They've been there ever since. Those babies little crops were so full that I think they'll be fine till morning lol.



Daisy came in to lay her egg (scared all the babies with her very loud egg song) and was quite curious. ...


This is what she got for her curiosity lol. Thankfully she's very mild mannered and didn't freak out lol. She left them stay there for about 5 minutes before she got out and picked a different box lol.

The pics are adorable!! so glad they seem good about the change of scenery, looks like you won't have any more trouble getting them to stay in the big bird coop. Remember to keep the little coop closed so they don't go back to it but doesn't look like it should be a problem!

The only thing they had a problem with was me catching them to put them in there. They know I'm great for food and treats but they don't trust me to touch them lol. I hope your right and we're done with the little coop. I'll be watching them close tomorrow around bedtime to make sure they go in on their own. We'll see what happens.i bet they'll be eager to come out and eat in the morning though. They always are!

All my older girls treat my 5wk old really well...he/she can eat under the roo's and three of the older girls and they protect he/she from the younger group...(who are much more food centric)....her mom is also a pretty dominant girl so she pushes the younger girls off....good to see your broody trusts Daisy...chook behavior is always interesting....

honestly, I don't think she even knew what was going on next door lol! But I have noticed that Cloud only seems to chase certain hens away from the babies but not all of them. Daisy is a lower member of the flock and I don't think I've seen Cloud chase her once.

babies all did great with their first night in the big coop :) they all followed mama out, no problem this morning though a few of them didn't even try to walk down the ramp. They flew down instead lol. They found all the food dishes I put out and their waterer. I'm very proud of my little fluffy butts :)
