Hello there,
I just made a trip out to the coop to give the girls a snack. Fruits and veggies that are a bit soft for Russ and I go out to the coop. Never fails, they are all waiting at the gate for me. It’s like having a dog happy to see you, but not .. . . . really they want what you have in your hand.
Russ gets the biggest kick out of me chopping up things for the chickens. They are very capable of chopping stuff up for themselves, it just makes me feel better, lol.
Tried to no avail getting a picture of them with a piece of fruit in their beaks, but no they give you the other end every single time.
As for the two chicks, well they are no longer considered chicks. They are now considered pullets (hens that haven’t laid yet). We could be wrong and they might be roosters. Actually, we are guessing that the one on the right is a rooster. The tail feathers on that one are sure sticking up pretty high. But, what do we know we have never had a rooster before. Time will tell.
Anyway, they are still trying to fit into the flock. It will be a while before they find their permanent place in the pecking order. They are at the bottom now, no place to go but up, right? The past few weeks they have just been trying to stay off the big girls radar. They sleep in a corner in the coop instead of on the roosting bars with the other girls. They have each other and that seems okay with them. 🙂
Our grand daughter, Hailie Jade named the small one with the crumpled foot Joe Joe, Josephine if it’s a hen. No name yet for the one on the right. Suggestions are always welcome. Names that could be used for both a girl and boy are especially welcome.
So that’s the scoop at the coop.
Have a terrific Monday!
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
