I bet your new "home" is very peaceful and visiting the new arrivals is a delightful repreve from your neighbors. As for gettting the birds down, I hear you. I would loan you my husband as he is handy for reaching the high up birds.I have discovered how much time away from BYC I suffer, now that I have some of my flock at their new location on "Thistle Dew Ranch" property. It's not all that time-consuming to check on feed, water, security - but I do have to commune with both flocks, k'now! Everybody over there is a youngster, nowhere near as accustomed to my presence as the older members of the flock staying here. (Seniority has its rights.) It takes time to build rapport. BOSS helps.![]()
There are approximately ten more birds HERE to move over, plus six cockerels temporarily housed with HHandbasket's flock. Mine are tree and/or rafter roosting youngsters which I cannot reach without assistance. So their relocation has been delayed until I can schedule some friends taller than me to capture 'em.
Then there are these two spoiled ladies.
