It has been a week, and today I saw a big change in my flock. When I approached the coop, everyone was in the run, three were chilling out, and three were looking for icky things (I really hate worms!). No one freaking that I was approaching was normal. It was that when I opened the storage door next to the run, Reba and Steven went to the run door, as though they were waiting for treats. Then, all six stayed outside the whole time I was there. Even Bonnie! As I was spending time talking to them, Bonnie was even preening near me (the first time I've seen her do more than nervously eat scratch or just run into the coop) and was calmly exploring a branch that is leaning against the roost.. With me just outside the fence. I also saw that Melissa has developed a red comb and wattles.
Behold! All six chickens in one picture!
This is great!! It is quite a shock to relocate them, so I am glad to see them settling back to their old selves. None were cuddle bugs, but good to see them comfortable with company. It will be cool to watch them mature since we rarely get to see that when we sell any of them.
