They are! When they are happy they squat down in front of me for a little back scratch! Only when they are happy with me tho. Its so funny!

Yay for fluffies @TropicalBabies !! Keep the pictures coming! I can’t wait to see yours too @pennyJo1960 ! Makes me want mine to hurry up and be done cooking too!

How’s the weather today @GoatsandGuineas ?? Your ladies get some sun and warmth at all? How is Goldie?

@FrankieDoodle I hope Iris starts turning a corner! Is he on any antibiotics? It sounds like maybe there’s still some infection in there somewhere perhaps?

I picked up my new coop today! I’m not sure I will set up the run for now, gonna see how things go with just the coop! We might take the automatic door off the run and install it on the big coop instead! I also carried the thing into the run and decided I don’t like it there, so we have to move it again tomorrow The husband already bonked his head once…he’s gonna love doing it again tomorrow Can’t wait to move the new chickens outside tho haha…SO over the indoor crowing and dogs trying to eat the chicken poo inside the crate!

Such a pretty lady!! What is her name? My girl is Charlie (full name Charmander - the 5 year old named her ). She’s the only one I have left of my very first 5 chickens I got last April

Hey topical yours came out first I have them lockdown want so bad to open it and roll the eggs

DONT DO IT PJ!!! it def is not worth it.

I have to quit looking (but last I did it was 3 hatched, 8 pipped and they were drying out and getting cute) cuz they get all crazy with the light and start knocking eggs... so, I better let them nap and let nature do its thing without me interfering.
I went to put up a new overhang covering on my brooder. Then DH took it down and put up a tin roof and then we had to tie it into the shed so it did not tip the now top heavy brooder over. Looks pretty wonderful and secure but not cleaned. I still have 24 -36 hours to get it together lol.

Hows this catio action?! So worth the weeks worth of effort and the doc visit ♡

Weather...hmmmm...well, our sun room roof sprung a leak today with all of that melting ice, so we're looking at an insurance claim. Ugh! But slowly it's beginning to warm up around here. Today the high was in the 30s, but tomorrow 40s, Monday 50s, etc until 70s W&Th. Yay!!!!!!! I want to let Goldie go back to living outside, but I think it's best to wait until the nights are at least in the 40s, if not 50s. The set up I had with the cat cave lined with the blanket made it cozy, but she's wanting to sleep roosting now instead of in the nest. That's good, but if she's roosting, the weather needs to be warmer before she returns to "look but don't touch" outside. This is what her back looked like today:

Congratulations! Wooooohooooo! It's such a cute set up! Your new gang is going to love their new digs! Well done, you!
