The Pita Pinta Asturiana

Thanks!

Did they get a thanksgiving treat?

Lots of extra mealworms, plus they are really enjoying their new run!

Nice!

It is great to see the ribbons!

After all, ask Odette and Odile, what is a chicken run without tasteful (or tasty) floral accents?

The flowers look very nice!

Do they try to get to them yet?

LOL! No, I just put them in this afternoon, just before they were getting ready to go to bed. They haven't been interested in the big run for the last couple of days, once they discovered that it will make their feet muddy in this weather. They really don't seem to like that, and have stayed in the sand dustbathing and cleaning their feet. I went in the big run today, and they ran in to see what I was doing, but as soon as they saw it was still wet, they ran out again.

Violas and cupheas are safe for them if they do go for them, as far as I can tell.

That is an adorable little coop!

Love it! I think the Old World charm is a big part of why I find these (and Swedish Flowers) so fascinating.

Subscribing. I guess I have a soft spot for the Spanish breeds.

Old World charm is such a perfect way of putting it! That is exactly what my ladies have in abundance. Also, I did not know about Swedish Flowers but looked them up when I read your comment and really enjoyed those pics, so thanks!

Welcome to the thread! I didn't know that I like Spanish breeds until I hatched my Pita Pinta! Now I've turned into a Pita Pinta pusher!
