David and I can now put the title "Chicken Wrangler" on our resumes. We have been wrangling them every evening from the greenhouse to the hen house and back again in the mornings. It took an hour the first two nights but we've finally figured it out and tonight managed to move them in about 15 minutes. They are helping us prepare our greenhouse bed for peppers and eggplants while they wait for their run to be completed. They are loving the dry soil, dust baths and warmth they get during the day. As you can see, David enjoys the warmth inside the greenhouse, too. The resident cat Stubby, aka Crazy Eye, has been captivated by the girls but hasn't attacked them yet. Fingers crossed.Although they all have names bestowed upon them by their previous stewards, we have been giving them nicknames that go with their personalities and behaviors. The two below are Queen Sentinel and Miss Social or, depending on the situation, Escape Artist. We'll introduce you to the 6 others in a future post.
