The Blue Laced Red Wyandottes got their first taste of the great outdoors today and seemed to enjoy it. I initially placed them in the pen with the other girls, as I had last week with the new babies, but right off the bat, Bandit gave a nasty peck at the lightest colored baby, and came away with a mouthful of feathers. So the new girls got to free range outside the pen, while the bigger girls stayed in. They were delighted to be out back by the compost heap again.
The new gals seemed to stick together, despite having the run of the yard.
Can't get a pic head up while they're outside, only fuzzy butts. These guys are tiny!
Fly, our biggest bird, is on the left, with Bandit, the other speckled sussex on the right. It really does seem to hold true, that bird of a feather flocking together bit.
Here's a shot of the brooder after a long day outside. New babes, plus the auracanas on the right, big girls on the left. Why are the big girls clustered in that corner?
They're dipping their beaks in some tasty yogurt. Mmmm.
