"Whut'cha doin' in the barrow, Figs?"

"Go away, Pidge. It is none of your business!"

Figs business.

Pepper meeting the Fort Featherly Flock.

CinderFella says, "Stay on that side of the fence, Giant Black Chicken!"

Pidge- "That's a CHICKEN!!!???"

(In their defense, they have never seen a turkey before...)

Who ate my seeds?

Fresh greens have been delivered to the Salad Basket and the ladies are gathering.

Papaya immediately claims the basket as her own, while Pidge and Pick forage about underneath.

How dare you steal my juicy greens right out from under me!

The Conundrum. Should she? Or shouldn’t she?

No regrets.

Update from Fort Featherly! The coop has been covered and wrapped to hopefully avert any issues with bird flu should it arrive in our area. And the newcomers have finished their month of quarantine and are now in the “intro area” of the coop so they can meet their new friends.

Pidge (Delaware hen) has her priorities, and that meant a bath before anything!

Nevar (Ayam Cemani hen) couldn’t decide where to explore first. A bath? Grass grazing? Worm digging? Other birds to watch? Nevar is a bit higher strung. :)

So far, so good. Fingers crossed.

Pidge testing the solidarity of the Beak Bunk. One can never be too careful when choosing a new home. The Foundation must be sound.
