and then -- seems like about midlife, most of our fledglings return home for awhile
divorce? unemployment? malaise? needing some time to "find themselves" ? or whatever ...

such a commotion from the coop today
they told me very specifically that they did NOT want to browse in the chicken tractor today
as soon as I opened the tractor access -- they were beelining for the coop and run
Phoebe ducked right into the coop's nest box, and soon there was another lovely pale blue egg for me
but the rest kept on BAWK BAWK BAWKing ...
went out to see Becky and Christina both snugged inside the smallest Varikennel in the run
we're talking about 10 inches wide ....
very quiet .. though earlier Christina was in there alone and bouncing it around (nest making??)
I'd put a recycle bin in the run earlier, and there's a large kittybox there too, all filled with shredded paper
right now, Phoebe, Deirdre, Anitra, and Ginger are striding around the coop, alternately talking and yelling
the roo, and I think I'll call him Roofus .. or maybe Roopert ! is wandering around dazedly, not sure of what's going on
all he knows is that the pullets on the move, are NOT interested in him ...
getting really loud out there, I better go see what's up ...
added: Christina is back out in the run, and looks like she started with a bang ...
nice khaki colored egg ... fits smoothly into one of my Large AA egg cartons ... so oval it is hard to tell which end is "pointy"
Becky is still sitting there quietly
