Moving to the birdcage

Moving to the birdcage

This show does not star Nathan Lane and Robin Williams.

Our stars are Ms. Barred Rock and the Misses Astralorps.

The wire on the bottom of the birdcage (above the removable poop tray is not a grid.) All the wires go in the same direction and are about ½ inch apart. Not real easy maneuvering for my girlies feet. I borrowed some chicken wire from Camille & Tom, cut it to size and pressed it down in the new chick cage. It took a bit of clever twists of the wrists to clip and bend the pokey ends of wire.

To assure the girlies would not feel too exposed without their cardboard walls, I draped 3 sides with towels. The heat lamp still beams thru the top OK. They seem happy and at home. They went nuts pecking at the chick mash that fell thru the wire onto the newspaper in the poop tray. Such little things bring them joy. ‘They’ are the little things that bring me joy.

I saw those cute little chicks today and am impressed how at home they are. They seem to love hanging out in the three chicken farm.
