Bibu immediately before shaking out her feathers. I am in love with this photo.

It's a great shot! Submit it for pow!

Marcille was really getting into the "dustbathing" this afternoon!

Look at her little leg freckles!

Husband finally got around to digging the postholes for the run today. It's going to be 20x20 completely covered. We won't be able to lay a hardware cloth skirt on the west side because it goes farther into the garden than anticipated and there are already pepper plants there. But we can always add that this fall when the growing season is over.

Pretty sure they're still sleeping in a pile on the coop floor, but look how good my babies are getting at perching!

Finally got a picture of Artemis where she doesn't look like she's mad at the world!

And a Bibu photo bomb!

Apparently I am friend shaped.

Lady Amalthea flew up to perch on my shoulder, and sat on my hand for several minutes after I took her off. She's still one of our flightiest chicks. But apparently she's down to cuddle on her terms.

We have all the support posts for run in place. Once they set we can fence them

Lately Limu is reminding me of a roadrunner (her hackles are up because a scary little butterfly flew past)

Had our first break out this morning. We're still working on the run, so our outside pen is just some chicken wire and step in fence posts (they are always supervised outside). I looked up and "hey! girls, why are you two on the wrong side of the fence?"

Paprika and Bibu found a spot where the bottom of the fence didn't quite meet the ground and slipped under. As soon as I said "hey!" they hunkered down (must've thought I saw a predator) so they were easily scooped up and plopped back in the pen.
