Ribh's D'Coopage

[Ribh]

My babies were all snuggled up for the night.

It was their big sisters with issues.
The smaller Vorwerks were all over the place. Freya has asserted her right to a top roost spot & is there most nights.
Gloriana, Portia & the un~named Vorwerk are a happy threesome though there was a row over who got the wall. Understandably Gloriana wanted it!

And the only place Olivia wanted to roost was on me!

I kept putting her up with Titania & she kept returning.

It was a right old circus!

Once I called my big girls home for dinner I let the newbies out for their first venture in the run. They didn't go far but they chickened like mad.

All while I fed Olivia separately. She wasn't keen on going in the coop but she knew jolly well she wasn't going to get first dibs @ the food when she's been used to bullying the Japs! Once she'd had something I put her in the coop proper where the more timid girls know they can find food away from the bullies. I'll be checking her @ roosting time to make sure she's all good for the night.

Here's the newest lot out & about just before I fed & watered them.
I always figure they are easier to lure back into the coop if they are after food & water ~ & so they are!

What a gorgeous tufty tail!

She's so attached to you! I love it but I imagine it could become inconvenient.

Very inconvenient. And self~serving I'm sure.

I'm doing pretty well Jeannie.

Olivia has picked her spot and she is not giving it up ❤ She loves you and your shoulder is the perfect roosting spot "she says"

I love when my girls all hang together.​

For such a diverse lot they do really well.
Most of the older girls are moulting & looking really ratty just now.
Egg production has dropped right off.
All these ladies & I'm lucky to see 3 eggs a day just now.

That is not a great expense to income ratio. Have you told them so?

Funny. A page or two before this I realized your profile picture was Olivia on a shoulder. And then here she is again! She's a shoulder chicken! How cute is that

I love the wee ones snuggled up in a corner.

And names for (most of) the vorwerks! If I ever come across them I'll have to get some. While I very much love the feather dusters, I don't know how they'd fare in my environment.

By the way, I've got a broody girl that's been patiently sitting on eggs. She's in a bit of bad spot, so I'm hoping they hatch quickly and I can move her. Here's the first babe!

Me digging her baby out of her wing left her nonplussed, but she was a good sport. I think she knows I'm a friendly
