Making coop repairs yesterday DH was forced to leave a small space of styrofoam exposed where the chickens could get at it. Nothing to be done for it. I knew the adult birds were going to have a field day this morning.
Took a peek inside the coop early this morning to see how everyone is doing; especially my broody that ain't happening!. Of course I hear the birds pecking at the styrofoam, though at that angle I couldn't see them. I expected that.
Through the window I attempted a headcount on my youngest chicks, 9 of em, all two weeks old. Count came up minus 4; forcing me to unlock everything to go in and look in the areas I can't see.
Right there between the legs of the various troublemaking adults were the four chicks, just peck! peck! pecking! away at that styrofoam.
You try to raise them in a good home, fill their little bodies with the proper nutrition, send em to the best schools......
