Into the Coop They Go

  Into the coop they go,

out of their brooder and into a box

 (clucking, flapping, squaking)

and down to live with the big guys.

Oh My!  What is this?

They have a separate area,  

partitioned off with chicken wire 

 in order to have a safe meet and greet,

getting to know each other a bit.

They have their own separate window that looks

up towards the house. That way we can call down to them and

they can get a good look at the goings on ,

the cats, the small side garden and various critters

that wander by.  They are not allowed in the yard yet.

The blind cross beaked chick is still in the house

along with the new batch that thinks she/he's their mom.

He really hasn't grown very much although he has more feathers.

I am thinking the new chicks will outgrown him and I'll have to

keep hatching at least two more at a time to keep him

company until he grows up.  If he never grows up

I guess I'll have to get a giant parrot cage and keep him

in the house forever!   

A side note:

 Something seems to be wrong with Facebook

if you read this there.  I can't log in because it is

stuck on my husband's account and he can't log out.

It doesn't even go to his Timeline, just to security settings

which don't work if you try to end the session.
