The hens are having a BIG crisis - this morning we introduced the black bantam peeps to the older hens, which are twice the size of the peeps.
The peeps are happily standing in their new digs but the older, bigger Golden Comet hens are aghast at the intruders in their house. One by one they trot up the ramp, peer in the door to their house, make very concerned noises, then trot back down to the run. They don't know what to do about the interlopers in their house.
An intrepid hen, one who no doubt must need to lay an egg, has found the courage to go in the house and into the laying box. She is in there making a ruckus and hasn't hunkered down yet to make her deposit. Poor things have no courage. This is also the first rooster they have ever seen.
The queen hen has been trotting around the run and up & down the ramp with her neck & tail feathers in a ruff but she has no idea what to do. Golden Comet chickens are known to be particularly docile. Bantams are know to be particularly tough. It's a stand-off!
Did I ever mention that my chickens are chicken? Everything frightens them. When they are scared they run for the safety of their house but not this time, that's where the scary things are.
