These are our 3rd batch of chickens, if memory serves. Michael and Sue Laprise gave us our first batch. My Dad (who has delighted our kids by taking them to the feed store and buying birds, rabbits and other critters) furnished the second batch…and this third batch.
It’s interesting to me how the different age groups hang out together. They all get along, and they’re fine together when they’re all in the coop at night. But during the day, when they’re foraging, they wind up splitting into groups that seem to be formed around relative age.
