They love it because he's reassuring them that everything is A OK.My rooster, he sure is loud in the morning. I bet all the ladies hate hearing his obnoxious crowing every morning. He doesn’t understand the words “shut up!”
My hen Blue, just loves him so much. Deep into the night, those two birds almost become one
I can’t get that close to the bird.
I never had mixed breed Silkies like Polkies or Cochin-Silkies which may have different temperaments from a standard all-Silkie breed. Feather appearance & size alone can influence/change a Silkie temperament in a mixed breed. I would say a mixed breed Silkie could understandably pass on its sweet nature, maybe a larger size from the other mix, & different feather structure in the mix.
Why do hens always want the same box? So funny!
The cord isn't wrapped around the power meter but I'll bring it up with my dad and see if we can't prop it up above it somehow.
Unfortunately dad and I had no say in where the run was built. Uncle paid for everything, uncle decided what and when and where and how. I thought that might be a safety concern but I can't say anything, he won't listen. He is very much a "my way or the highway" type of man, and of course he knows everything
But since we do plan on making some changes in the spring anyway, I'll also bring that up!
Thank you so much for your critique!!
I am living vicariously through you with your beautiful ladies. It’s unlikely I will ever get any more chooks and definitely not Wyandotte 
and so I will have to enjoy seeing yours.
Such cutie pies
Never say never!
Wasn’t meant to be judgemental - just the ‘safety cop’ in me. Working on pipelines gave me a whole new introduction to safety around natural gas and electric systems!
Many people don’t know codes surrounding structures and utilities.
I want you and your chooks around a long time
Gee thanks
Yay! And might I suggest Shakespeare if he ‘speaks to you’
