Looks like they're on it. And it's within the city limits, too. :(

When I lived in Flagstaff, I used to go to Olsen's all the time. They do have a few stores in other places, but if you're in Flag, I just got a notification saying there's a fire starting up in west Flagstaff on Mars Hill. :hit
The homestead must be defended, and he's just the bird to do it!
It won't be much longer before I'll be listening for crowing, too. :( Fancy and Bulova are really interested in the chicks. Maybe they'll teach the boys some manners? :fl
They have decided that chicken food in the chicks'...
Well, everybody's fine! They slept on the ground huddled together, and this morning two of them figured out how to go up the ramp.
The only casualty was Big Ben, yesterday. He scraped his foot on the gravel with all the scratching he did in front of the little invaders.
It's supposed to be calm tonight, with "gusts" of 6 mph, so the wind shouldn't be too bad. I'm just worried about them on their first night outside. But it is nice to have them out of the house!
Well, he seems to think the whole place is his, so probably.
The chicks keep wanting to stay in the bottom run part of the tractor. As dusk I tried putting them in the top where it would be warmer and probably safer. They ran back down again as quickly as I could put them up there, so it...

Big Ben keeps looking at the chicken tractor and scratching the ground. I hope that doesn't mean he wants to fight with his grandsons.
Agreed, good luck. It's not easy to re-home a cockerel.
As of a few minutes ago, my chicks, who turn 6 weeks old today and tomorrow, are outdoors, but not before Belly/Nellie escaped in the house and gave me a really hard time catching her.
I'm guessing 3-4 cockerels out of the 7 chicks...
Now that the weather it warming up, I need to get out the solar oven and mess with that. I used to have a big solar oven when I lived in the valley in the early 80's, and got this one at a yard sale a while back but haven't tried it out yet.
It was 92 today, and it's supposed to go down into the high 80's for the next several days. Most of the time it doesn't get as hot as the valley, but it definitely gets warm enough to need ice.
OK, after reading this thread, I picked up some Blue Bunny ice cream to get the container to make ice for the flock. I hope they appreciate the things I do just for them. *cough, cough* :D
