Ribh's D'Coopage

[BY Bob]

I think we have full integration. There is no squawking from the hen house this morning & Olivia even hopped up on a stump beside Hepzibah until she realised she'd got one of the Big Girls by mistake! This is good news as I think Alpia is going broody on me ~ Again! ~ & now I have the little coop free again she will find herself in exile if she doesn't smarten up!

I am super happy with how this has gone. I was worried as the Littlest are so very little but it's Regan the Big Girls usually go for & I suspect that's because she's a more mature hen. Everyone seems to know the babies are still babies; even my big fluffy sooks, Portia & Gloriana aren't pecked much & when they are they back down fast.

It could not have gone better. Congratulations!

The poop really pings me off.
"Look you idiots! Don't you know doing that will make you sick?!" ​

Actually, I know it's sad but they do not know it will make them sick. I know it's hard to believe. They just don't understand basic hygiene.

Snuggle time! The best time!

From tonight. She was enthralled with staring down the arm of the couch for over an hour.

One last Caturday photo. I found this photo of Dr. Zoidberg and Davis when he was a kitten. They were best friends.

Nope! I think I need to review my emoji posting ~ or wait till I'm more with it. That's the 2nd time in a few days I've worried someone with my emoji. No, I know they don't really get it but it's the most disgusting habit & chickens have quite a few to choose from!

When I boarded my horse there was a racehorse in rehab there. He would poop in his water EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! It didnt matter where we put the bucket. He'd do the same thing in the auto water bowl. We finally figure out he would only drink cold, fresh water. Once he drank out of it once, he wouldn't drink out of it again. He was totally bat crap crazy!!!

How high off the ground is it?

I really like my nipple waterer. It is clean 100% of the time! I have a small 1 gal one for the silkie tribe and then a 5 gal one for Ned and his ladies.

Can you post a picture? I'm not sure about nipple waterers but it may work.

How high off the ground is it?

It was 6" ~ but the girls have raised the level of their yard by 6" over 3 years. They keep burying the bricks I sit their water on & then they just dirty the water constantly. If I raise it too high the Littlest won't be able to reach it...

Thanks, Bob. I feel a little mean posting how well this has gone when I know you are still having issues. I'd be devastated if I had to deal with that.
