What did you do with your flock today?

[froggyphore]

Hello! This is a place to post pictures/talk about what you and your flock have done today.

I was on a zoom call earlier and Iris, my rooster, decided to stand behind me and crow repeatedly. Thankfully I was on mute, but it was still annoying. They couldn’t see him, but they could see me trying to make him quiet, which was a little embarrassing.
Here’s a pic of my boy with some mini roses.

What about you guys? Have you done anything interesting with your flock today?

Here are a few pictures of my birds.

i've been really excited for my girls hatch day (may 7th) but i forgot it i remembered today and felt so bad i let them free range all day & gave them lots of treats (hanging lettuce, eggs, pear).

for my chicks i gave them a mirror and showed them some youtube videos, which they really liked they love to stare at themselves and peck the spots they see on their faces

That’s my golden laced Wyandotte, Irene.

My broody hen is a GLW. All of my Wyandottes are sassy but when I handle them they are so gentle. I’ve even picked my broody off ofher eggs and she’s just made some noises and then been okay.

Irene is currently broody. So far she’s the softest broody I’ve had.
She’s pretty chill with humans and lets me touch her and pull her off of eggs, but she attacks the the dogs and some of the other hens.
Are you going to let her hatch any chicks?

Beigie likes to sit in my shoulder when I let the birds out. It’s a little inconvenient to try to feed them and open the door with my arm mostly frozen to keep her from sliding off, but it’s cute and it makes her happy.
Here’s a pic of her I took a day or two ago on my shoulder.

I’ve also accidentally turned her into a snack monster. She spends all day by the front door trying to get in, begging for snacks. If given the chance, she runs inside. She also chases people around the yard for snacks.
Here she is waiting outside the door.

Hi everyone! Today I cleaned brooders, fed, watered, and changed the leg bands on my yearling peafowl since they were starting to get tight.

Thank you! She likes pretty much anything, but her favorite snack is oats.
