Just gotta share this with you …

Oh it is isn’t it

I’ve even spread some of my ‘new baby hen dust’ on hubby and he has been preparing the Baby House.

We have a plastic child’s play house which has a perch set up inside. It gets put outside the big girlz coop within a little run.
The run has a little access area for me to get in and sit with them so they get used to me.

I can read my book out loud so they know my voice and I feed them, eventually by hand on my knee. We get to know each other really well and by the end of the two weeks of their incarceration I can pick them up, turn them upside down and give them a thorough check over without as much as a wiggle from them.

OMG I love hens

That is sooooo sweet ! You sound like such a good chicken mom!!! I enjoy playing my ukulele and singing to mine so they get used to me! That is so neat!!

I have two friends over here that play the ukulele, is t that weird.
If I sang to mine they would be traumatised and the only song I know all the words to is Barbie Girl by Aqua Signs of a misspent youth (perhaps not so youth like though )

You're cracking me up! My turkey especially loves it, she even clucks along. Her favorite is Somewhere Over The Rainbow!
