I knew they were small, but wow! That last pic really puts them into perspective.Yesterday I stapled the last of the reed clothe up on the bach pad to slow any hard wind or rain but still let in breeze. Looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I have not acted on making any better hops for the boys yet though I seriously dont like what I did the other day- i do have a plan in my head that should not take too much time to complete.
Today I had chicken house keeping, scrubbing and scraping, feed and water. Picked up the grass I dried and bagged most and freshened a few nests with the rest. Good stuff. Then turned stumps for bugs and caught a lizard for the shy Buff Brahma. I also busted out my screw gun and moved a roost in the mini coop that was set for littles and the big who is using it had a hard time with the hop.
AND been on kitten duty plus laundry and regular chores. Don't feel too sorry for me folks, they are still doing a lot of sleeping.View attachment 2601361View attachment 2601365View attachment 2601366View attachment 2601364
I’m not sure. Out of all of my boys (I’ve had five), Iris is the only one that isn’t/wasn’t human aggressive. Everyone was hand raised except for him, he was raised by one of my hens. I don’t know if that played a role, or if I just got lucky.Has that ever back fired on cockerel ? As a kid I was told do not make make friends with the roosters
Bianca was a sweet bird. Maybe the key is giving your boys girls names.I’m not sure. Out of all of my boys (I’ve had five), Iris is the only one that isn’t/wasn’t human aggressive.

Either way, Iris turned out to be a total love bug. 80% of the time he crows is because he wants to be held, and when I sit down he comes running. He’s turning three on the fifteenth, so I doubt that’ll change.
