Weekend Chickens – March 6th

First Egg, New Perches, Pecking Order

There were a few videos posted this weekend primarily because Spit Fire had her very own “first egg video” just like Trinity (spoiler alert… Miss Cloud’s video is coming out next weekend).

In this first video, we get to witness the neurotic nature of some chickens when they lay eggs. Some of them simply drop the egg and go about their day. Other chickens will sit on them for a bit just for good measure. And then there is Spit Fire who, on a normal day, can take quite a long time to finally let loose of her egg. The nest must be perfect and it must be the one of her choosing. Spit Fire Lays Her First Egg

In the second video, I spend a bit more time on camera while I put together perches within the chicken kennel we put together a while back. They really need places to jump to and ways of getting off the ground as well as getting away from each other. Chicken Kennel Perches

In this final video, I make some pecking order observations and determine that one of the perches is just a bit too high… Phoenix biffs it.
