The Surprising Truth Behind Why My Poultry Pets Finally Warmed Up to Me—After Only Two Bites!
I’ve been sharing my “From the Life of a Farmer’s Wife (after the farmer fell off a 9-foot ladder and broke his back)” tales on Facebook every few days. This will be the update for this evening:
Benedict the Jerk (our rooster) still doesn’t like me. He came at me again last night. I turned around and said, “Eh! Eh!! Eh!!!” He quickly strutted the other way. He’s learning!
Since the chicks have been moved out to the chicken enclosure, they’ve been given the opportunity to exit the “chick condominium” during daylight hours, and wander around with the older flock members. The chicks seem a bit fearful of Benedict, but he’s actually protecting them. We haven’t seen him start any fights with the babies (they’re actually as big as teenagers now).
