Any chance they're his???Spider is imprinting with feral chicks lol. Not sure why he is taking such an interest in this gal and her brood.View attachment 3382795
She is a regular here but brought her new brood a few days ago.View attachment 3382805View attachment 3382806
She had about 16+ when I first spotted her bringing her brood to dig bugs at one of the compost. Now she is down to about 9 2 days later. So camouflaged
Chickens do a great innocent/It wasn't me! face....
What were they pecking? Any evidence of the crime?
It's a conditioning process. They could get used to it. The noise startles them at first, but they get used to it after a few days to a week. I didn't follow the suggested time line exactly, and they looked well fed the last few days with the noise. Tomorrow and the next day I'll be observing crops to see if they've eaten.
Nesting material. Pretty sure whistling with hands in their pockets too.
Mine was a gift so did not come with directions and I did not Google either lol. Folks who gave me said their chooks were terrified of it and could not wait to get rid of it. After cleaning I filled with feed and topped with a Piñata scratch -the good kind as I don't buy the cracked corn
- on top of the feed and infront of Spider. Less than 2 seconds later flock was on it and the rest is history. They teach each other and even the babies love to use it. I had to get used to it sounding like a bear was knocking around a metal rubbish can was all 
🗑.
And you? How'd it go? Was yummy?! You tired?
What the?!! I need you to clarify!
