Proof of Aerial and Ground Predators Near the Chickens
From August 2023... over the course of two days, we had a falcon decide to build a nest in the neighbors yard and a skunk wandering around in the wood pile. I didn't get a video of the skunk because I as too busy trying to verify it was a skunk... which it was! Wish I recorded it now. A few days later it appeared that the falcon gave up on the nest and I'm assuming it was due to the crows living in the area... they don't like hawks or falcons of any sort.

The hens are using the tire for a dust bath while the chicks cautiously look around the yard. This was the beginning of the summer heat and I had to do a little prep which will be much grander as the summer progresses. Had a couple humorous moments with the chicks... Popcorn is a bit silly!

It's pretty hot today and Parkour Chick decided to lay her egg in the heat of the day. Luckily, I was able to record right as she finally laid the egg! I review my coop set up for the hot months and Trinity decides to interrupt me. Also, it seems they like the store-bought spaghetti squash better than mine from the garden. Crazy chicks!

The ladies successfully perched all night last night and now I'm in the coop with Spit Fire who doesn't seem too sure about it.

A nice, normal day with the chickens. For some reason it decided to snow in April which was a bit of a surprise. We had a duck visitor and the ladies seem to be wearing muddy slippers.

The hyacinth came up in the yard and I tried to sniff all the smell out of them as quick as possible. They don't really last long enough for me! We were spending a nice quiet time in the yard when suddenly... HAIL! The chickens didn't like it very much. The cherry blossoms are just starting and will only last a couple weeks so I tried to enjoy that as much as possible as well. Phoenix dropped the first egg since her vet visit and it wasn't good. Now we are living day-by-day.

Miss Cloud is waiting her turn in the doorway of the chicken coop. Inside is Spitfire trying to lay an egg and not pleased with the interruption.

The Phenix JiRa chicks were especially loving today but also a tad on the trouble maker side.

The chicks are in their own coop and the hens aren't entirely sure about it. This is a quick update on the hens and a look at their reaction to the chicks being outside with them same yard... what the heck.
