Tommy and the Pullets

It has stopped raining.
Time to give the pullets a taste of the outdoors.

Tommy is fascinated.

He checks them all over.

Once he's sure they are safe, he relaxes a bit.

"See, I'm doing my job!"

They're fine. 

"You can go weed. . . I'll keep an eye on them."

 

Barred Rock Chicks with Buffy Mother

We went to Frog Pond today and purchased five Barred Rock pullets.


We are hoping that Buffy #2 will adopt them.
She had been sitting on eggs with Buffy #1.
#1 did hatch two chicks.

We put these new babies in a cage near the moms.
#1 was not at all interested, since she had her own beautiful babies.

#2 seems interested.
When they were in the cage, she brought them food and dropped it through the bars.
So we released them.

We'll see. . .
