Cuddles was being silly tonight. Everywhere I went in the coop tonight, she had to hurry up and get there to get another hug lol. If I was on one side of the roost saying goodnight to someone, she ran over and pushed her way through for a hug. She followed me to the other side for another hug and when I squatted down to talk to and give Mister a hug, she jumped down and started pecking my back to make sure I knew she was right there lol. She's such a big love bug!
Miss Pirate may have to get her wings clipped. The other morning I was surprised to hear her talking to me when I was out before dawn feeding everyone. I found her up in a tree. This evening, she was back in that tree again. I DO NOT want this to become a habit. I really don't want to clip her wings since she's my escape artist and is always out free ranging. I want her to have some way to escape but I can't have her sleeping in trees either! Speaking of her escaping all the time, we have this chair sitting outside the chicken coop that I was using to prop the door open earlier in the year. Pirate loves to sit up on the back of it when she feels the need for a little break from her adventures. Well today, I sat a plastic tote on it that I pulled out from the coop and forgot about it. Later this afternoon, I saw it laying on the ground upside down. It would move a couple inches and stop, then move a couple inches and stop lol. Pirate must have gone to jump up on her chair but landed on the tote and knocked it down on herself! I bet she couldn't figure out who turned the lights off lol
