Chicken Truce

Yesterday was another good day for chicken TV. It rained (poured) for a lot of the day. The chickens spent most of their day inside the coop riding out the storm. The older chickens have taken over ruling the roost so to say. The little ones hide out when they are around. We have some small blocked off corners where the big ones cannot get to them. We locked the big ones out of the coop last night and fed them some special treats (table scraps) so the little ones could have the coop to themselves for a while. We wanted to make sure they were getting plenty of food and drink.

The biggest event of the day is one little one actually made it down the ramp and over to the big run by itself yesterday. Today we will lock the big ones in the run for a while and teach the little ones how to go up and down the ramp. We are hoping the green grass below and change of scenery will entice them down more often.
