Moving Day

The Red Hens turned one month on Friday.

And they were filling the brooder.

And tromping on the little silkies.

So Saturday was moving day for everybody.

First the pennies (red stars) moved into the "condo".

They have lots of room to stretch out now.

Fluffy, our white silkie just can't wrap her

head around not living in there, so she

joined them.

The baby silkies then moved into one of the

rabbit houses. 

It's smaller and they can grow up in there

without anybody trying to stomp on them.

They are FILTHY since I feed a wet

fermented feed. The big girls get feed on their

feet and then walk on the littles.



The littles now have a feeder with a lid.

And they will be getting a bath.

Of course, that means the bunnies had to move too.

We are trying "colony breeding" for awhile.

All 4 are living together in the big half of their house.

They all get along well.

And I'm tired of getting my hands shredded with

their back claws when I move them around.

Rod moved them all for me wearing long sleeves

and leather gloves and no scratches...

Now everybody has their own space.

Of course, there's always a malcontent...

Pearl has become a master escapeee.

And has encouraged others.

When I get home at night there's usually

5 or 6 (or more) running around the yard.

Still a small percentage, but sheesh!
