Ribh's D'Coopage

Tsuki has been doing a Gandalf on the coop door "You shall not pass! ...except Deana"
I usually go out at bed time to see the younger ones perched on the tree stump outside the coop.

I get them on my wrist and take them across to the coop pop door. If it is dark enough, Tsuki stops pecking. :confused:
That is very "Lilly-like". I hope they haven't been on Beakbook together again.

At least, much like bucket boy and fat bird in the morning, you get to carry them to bed. :confused:

In all seriousness, it was this behavior by Lilly that led to Maleficent roosting outside the coop and thus her availability to whatever predator it was that took her from me. When I integrated the next three, I did not let Lilly do it any more. I gathered her up and we had "special time" together while everyone else roosted. I might suggest you do the same thing before the younger ones simply prefer to roost outside.

With Ned and Lucky I had to watch Aurora for the same blocking behavior. It is a thing with chickens.
 
Ok, I’m going to cheat a bit everyone... my internet is doing its usual connection issues thing so here’s my post on the house pictures.

I hope that worked

Nope, now how do I do a link again?

got it!

it was taking me more than 1/2hr to upload the pictures, and I just can’t do it again...
Smart. I have started doing the same rather than trying to repost. I can't wait to click and see!
