The Ladies are still getting bigger, so we're pretty much just adding pictures when we have new visitors. Tonight was definitely the most visitors we've had at one time: five adults and four children between the ages of one and six (the children, not the adults).It took a bit of hemming and hawing before the children were brave enough to get right up next to them, but the Mother Hen provided several grubs and worms as bribes for the Ladies; she's such an amazing person with young children, and in general.
As you can see in this second picture, the oldest visitor got pretty comfortable with the Ladies after the first couple grubs were down the hatch.
The only other news is a couple more changes to the coop. The Ladies now have a shingled and sealed roof area over one third of their coop under which to avoid the summer rains. Per the approved algorithm, the Ladies should be able to survive 65-degrees by now, but we're still looking at lows in the forties and fifties for at least the next week. We're thinking by the end of May they'll be out in the coop permanently.

All I'm saying is that whoever that kid's parents are should be shot. How completely irresponsible to let children near such vicious creatures.
Probably drinking whiskey and not paying attention;)
Seriously, we had a blast with the chix. Looking forward to visiting again!
