They did it! After much discussion the last couple of nights, the girls were all on the roost bar tonight. Lined up Pru, Mary, Agnes and Maggie. So cute! A lot of discussion required, but there they all were just after dusk. I wonder if they made it all night? So proud!
I'm headed out of town for the weekend for work. And M is headed to Moses Lake for the opening of duck season. That means we had to find a chicken sitter for the first time. I asked our neighbor across the alley, Walt, if he would check in on them Sunday and Monday evenings. Mike leaves late Saturday (I leave at dawn for Dallas) and we both get back Tuesday. Should be fairly simple for Walt as the 4 of them don't go through that much food or water right now. Hopefully he'll just have to clean the straw from the latest excavation out of the water and give them a handful of cracked corn for dessert.
Simple! Hope it goes well as we have several other extended trips coming up this winter and it would be nice to know the girls will be well looked after...
