*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*******

The little boopers have grown up…..

They graduated from their heat-lamp-warmed plastic wading pool…..

…..to the bigger dog kennel…..

…..then the addition of a second dog kennel…..

And now…..

…..they’ve been moved outside to the turkey coop…..

…..(our old Tom is not pleased)…..

…..(he liked the peace and quiet in his Golden Years)…..

…..(he thinks he’s well-beyond babysitting these silly adolescent chicklets)…..

…..(he’s a grumpy old Tom)…..

We only have one rabbit in the turkey coop now…..

Remember when we took “all” of the rabbits from the coop to the butchers?…..

…..well…..that’s another story…..

…..I’ll get to that later…..

When the chicken-teenagers outgrew the dog kennels…..my older daughter suggested putting them in the turkey coop…..

…..rather than in with all of the adult chickens in the chicken coop…..

It made sense…..

…..they wouldn’t be “hen-pecked” in the turkey coop…..

…..they’d be “turkey-pecked”…..HA!…..(I like that one!)…..

So now the teenagers are all feathered out…..

They’re strutting their stuff in their new/spacious abode…..

…..the young roosters are discovering that they can crow…..(?)…..

…..(sort of)…..

…..it sounds more like someone stepping on a toad…..

…..(but they think they sound manly)…..

…..(let’s not tell them otherwise)…..

When they’re older…..they’ll ultimately go outside into the real world…..

…..this time I think I’ll clip their wings…..(or at least one wing)…..

…..that way when they try “stretching their wings” for the first time…..

…..they won’t inadvertently find themselves over the fence and into the back yard…..

…..with the slavering Wolfhounds…..

…..that never (ever) ends well…..

…………………I don’t want to talk about it…………………

Hopefully all of the chicklets will make it to free-range-adulthood…..

…..it’s always a challenge…..
