The older chickens have started to resign themselves to the fact that the younger chicks are here to stay. They are barely tolerating them and seem to be beginning to lose their fear of them. Every time I walk close to the coop though they are telling me off in chicken speak. The little ones have settled in nicely and a couple have even adventured down the ramp to the grass below. When we came home from church this afternoon we immediately went outside, put up the side of the coop and spent quite a bit of time watching "chicken TV". Mary decided to liven things up and threw a leaf into the coop to watch the little chicks scurry after it and play keep away from each other. It was quite entertaining. Hopefully, tomorrow the old chicks will have resigned themselves even more to the fact that the little ones are here to stay and they will start interacting with each other.
