What did you do with your flock today?

Heres the new run extension. It’s attached to the standard 8x8 TSC chicken run.

Very nice! They're obviously loving the varied-height roosts, great touch!

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.

The yellow one is cool-looking. What kind of rooster or hen is that? I have some golden-laced wyndotts; aren't they just the truth?

Thank you, and welcome to BYC! The roo in your avatar is beautiful too!

She’s an Easter egger! I don’t have her anymore, but they’re one of my favorite breeds.
I know right, my GLW is one of the prettiest birds in my flock right now. Talk about eye candy! How many do you have?

I have 12! I have 4 buffs, 4 golden-laced wyandottes, and 4 brown leghorns. I have 3 pekin ducks and 3 pilgrim geese (well, maybe the gander isn't a full-blooded Pilgrim). Someone once told me that because he doesn't have piercing blue eyes, he is not a pilgrim. I don't give a rats, but if he is or not, he is my boy!!

Today was THE winter preparation day for the coops and OMG am I exhausted. We cleaned out and added fresh shavings to ALL 15 coops and the 6 breeding cages, filled the feeders, cleaned, scrubbed, and filled all the waterers, laid down straw and PDZ for the mud, refilled oyster shell, cut down annoying new tree branches and made them into roost bars, and set up tarps and draft blockers. Took from 7 am till 3 pm…chickens and quail were so happy to have clean bedding and dust bathing piles it helped make it worth the agony to my back! It was an all hands on deck kind of operation…kids cleaning coops, husband hauling feed and shavings and crap all over and trouble shooting auto doors and battery changes, me scrubbing algae waterers in the mud…good day of hard labor. I hope they appreciate it! By 5:30 the sky opened up and dumped for the rest of the night, so so much for the drier runs But at least tarps will help keep some areas dry-er.

We leave at 6 am for a short family vacation to see my friend up in Seattle tomorrow so they better stay alive and healthy! My friend has a cabin 25 mins from Leavenworth so we are going to go enjoy a fun German Christmas town with reindeer visits and a sleigh ride, and maybe some sledding and evenings in the hot tub. The chickens better behave so I can enjoy the time away without stressing! Must sleep now! Goodnight chicken friends

Ooh, nice! What are your geese like? I’ve never known any to be super friendly, but to be fair I never spent a lot of time with them. I feel like they could be some pretty cool birds.

15 coops?? How many chickens do you have? Do you keep them all separated for breeding reasons?
