What a BIG day!

Yesterday was monumental. I was at school yesterday, frying donuts like there was no tomorrow (which, of course, there is...because that's today) and I get a text from my hubby who is holding down the fort at home. "Guess who's a big girl and made it up the ramp by herself!" It said. Now- this is a condensed saga- but our silkie chicken, Claire, will come DOWN the ramp every AM...but simply refused to go UP the ramp in the evenings. She runs to us when we walk outside after dusk and stamps her little feed and makes her little cooing tribble noises! She really is adorable :)
So we pick her up, and put her upstairs with the big girls every night so she can snuggle with the others. But! Andy came home to all 5 chickens residing happily on their roost. How nice is that? Most everyone is getting along better today. Gesine must have taken her chill pill, but now Paula is being a goose and chasing the new girls around. I feel sure they will all be fine in a few days. Claire is Switzerland. She is neither peck-ee or peck-er. She's the best.
