Windy hill chickens - first flock(s) of my own

[Perris]

Love the video, and the chicks are very cute.

Baby Bertha is already scoffing these grower pellets without needing any help to break them up.

I always find it entertaining to watch a teeny tiny chick manipulate a mealworm till it's facing the right way to go down in one, like a seabird with a fish half its body length

I shut Rognvald & co in the greenhouse for the morning because it's really windy and otherwise they have to roam around getting driven from one day shelter to the next, depending on where the older birds want to be at that moment. It gives Wednesday a chance to rest too, although she's looking much better on that foot now. Came out and found a queue of pissed off pullets wanting to speak to the manager

He's still a baby but you can kind of see the adult Rognvald will grow into here

... aaand back to gangly, awkward teenager mode

His brother was being a dick to all the others a week or two ago, but they're all friends again now

("RIRs don't get along with other breeds" )

I do love the way baby chicks will just randomly appear from anywhere under their mum's feathers

R was intrigued but I think more interested in the meal worms than the babies (he did get some too!)

They were all stood there in a line the whole time I was inside. Soon as I came out and they realised I wasn't letting them in, they drifted off in separate directions and went back to chickening like they hadn't all just spent ages in a queue for no reason
