What did you do with your flock today?

I also got the spare coop cleaned out. I didn't do a full scrub down since I left it open so the chickens could clean out any bugs, and I scrubbed it out at the beginning of the year, but I replaced all the bedding and put new dirt in the run. I moved my chicks out here full time, and they've taken to it shockingly well. Last night was their second night, and there was only a little bit of fussing after I put them to bed.
Feather's is definitely a boy. It's such a bummer, because he's starting to get so pretty. Rehoming them always sucks, but I'm betting it'll be especially difficult with the bird flu, even though it's not here yet. :/

The babies are little monsters who don't like their pictures taken, so instead I'm substituting with some other random pics. : P

Me too! I've always wanted to take bee pictures, so I'm pretty happy now that I have a camera good enough to do so. : D

It was absolutely enormous as well. My son caught it and relocated it.

Yesterday dh went to the pasture and found Storms lifeless body. He was the under roo and kept hitting on the bigger roos girls and well, I think Happy just had enough of him and took him out. My dh is a bit heart broken as storm was his favorite. We had both been tempted to bring him home on many occasions but the pasture is a pretty awesome place, just not as monitored and I'm sure he would have caused trouble here too. RIP Storm ♡

That left an opening down there so I sent 2 cockerels with dh this morning. We will have to monitor. So far, dh was down there for hours waiting for farrier (as they make you do) and he said boys were loving it. I'm keeping the most adoptable locked up in roo coop and today was the quietest day I have had in a long time. Harmony restored.
