I thought it was about time for a check in with the girlers.
P has learned that they will eat grass from her hand.
The chicks have grown a lot and are used to running around. They are much harder to catch these days. I even have a hard time catching them with the camera. I think P dreams that she will go out to the pen and sit down and the hens will just come up to her and sit in her lap for a rest. That does not happen. Maybe if there were fewer of them there would be a chance of them becoming that tame. Maybe when she is a little older and can go out on her own and spend more time with them. Maybe.
This is our free "rare bird" that came with the order. The fluffy feathers on her legs make her look a bit like she is wearing bell bottom pants. We have looked through the Murray McMurray catalog and think she(or he) is a buff cochin.
She looked like this when we got her.
