What did your chickens do today?

My girls have become really friendly today... Usually they are skittish.and making lots of nests around the place.

The feathered kids are enjoying some much needed rain. My big Black Australorp girls are finally starting to sound a little like adults. They're trying to make clucking sounds, very different from the cheep cheep they had been making. They'll be 10 weeks this Friday.

John, I ran across an article here on BYC on asserting your dominance to your roosters so that they know you're in charge. I will look and see if I can find it. I'm pretty sure it was a featured article. It was written by a member a few years ago. It was very informative. When we had RIR (which are lovely chickens but too aggressive for my taste) the roosters were extremely mean. Truthfully, I was afraid of them. I wish I had found this article a long time ago. I wouldn't have been afraid of those roosters and had to re-home them. My Maran rooster is now about six or seven months old, he once pecked me for picking up the chicks, I immediately picked him up and held him until he calmed down. We had a couple of instances where he tried to rush us when interacting with the chicks in the yard. Did the same thing and haven't had any trouble out of him since.
