The chickies enjoying some ice cream from the sky earlier 😅
We spent all day in the garden and experienced every season in one day, haha

I just took this photo while tucking the youngsters in. Turns out that headlamps are almost as good as extractor hood lights. 🤭

Not much has changed from the last #chicken update, though the chickies are growing like mad. I hope they'll soon learn to head into the henhouse and claim a spot on the perches at night, as they've nearly outgrown the laying boxes (where I've been putting them every evening). 🫣

🐔 Chicken update! 🐔

A few random snaps of the whole gang. They're pecking, they're chasing each other, they're scratching, they're shitting everywhere (OMG, so much!), they're squawking away. The old ladies are laying, the young ladies are growing. All is as expected in CHICKS OF OUR LIVES. 🍿

🐔 Chicken update! 🐔

I removed the mobile fence yesterday afternoon, and so far, everything is going as expected. The older hens are chasing the chickies, but since the young ones are so fast and agile, there haven't been any seriously dangerous situations. In the end, I decided to introduce Cleo to the mix straight away. While she did chase and peck at Henna too, it wasn't as persistent as before. I even caught them sitting and relaxing close together – something that hasn't happened in ages! I will still keep her separated at night though.

One of the #Amrock hens has already decided that the coop and henhouse are her safe haven. She's the only one who often goes in there (I don't think the others are even aware of the door yet), while the others stick to "their" side of the run. Earlier, I was frantically searching for her and worried she might have escaped over the fence, until I spotted her sitting under the ladder, buried in the sand like a flatfish – well out of reach from the despots. Clever girl!

We're back online, yay!

To celebrate, here's a 🐔 chicken update 🐔

We got our new hens yesterday! 🙌 We've added two #Amrock hens (the black-and-white ones), and two #BielefelderKennhuhn hens (#crele coloured with reddish heads). We've named them Frika, Billa, Rumi, and Bärbel. 🤭
In the second photo, Henna is eyeing them curiously. They should grow to roughly the same size as our #Faverolles (or Deutsches #Lachshuhn, as Henna and Cleo's breed is known in Germany)

Wish me luck introducing them to the rest next week!
