NIGEL:
So Bruce, & others have taken to snuggling in UNDER the coop in the dirt & you-know-what!! So, in the evening, instead of returning to the warmth of the coop, Bruce & others have taken to settling in under the coop. We have a netted area underneath & apparently, they REALLY like it!!!
So now Susan & I bargain for who has to go down & roll around in the you-know-what to get them inside & access to the heat & water. It is a fair bit of a squeeze for me to get underneath with all of my warm gear & large coat. So Susan has been a legend & going down to "rescue" Bruce & others.
She makes a big deal about it, but I know she really loves it because she gets to hold & pat & cuddle (yep!) Bruce & others. She told me the other evening that she thought Bruce hid underneath deliberately so he could be patted & cuddled by her!?!? Don't laugh.... I am married to this wonderful woman!!!! (Yes I am going to be beaten for the info above...so I am trying to lessen the force!!)
Additionally, #46 has taken to lurking outside after dark. He likes to crow & wander aimlessly about. he can only see sideways because of his feathers. He may think he is the alpha & needs to protect his flock?
