We wanted to give the gals more room to run around in their coop, and switch their outside roost to a place that they could get to easier. So we moved their ramp and roost, and the poor chickies were very confused.
Here's Chloe on the new roost. She was the first one to notice the change (a good 20 minutes later). She walked around the new roost a couple of times, looking at it and gauging the distance. Finally she took a leap.
Mirabelle was a bit slower. Chloe was inside the coop, chirping away, and Mirabelle was trying to figure out how to get to her. Mirabelle circled the roost and ramp suspiciously a bunch of times. Lots of chirping back and forth. Finally Mirabelle took the leap to the new roost, and got inside the coop to Chloe.
Once inside the coop, the girls spent time eating pine chips. Even though they have a container full of food, and tons of weeds in their coop. This worried me at first, but I googled it and found out not to worry, the pine chips are non-toxic to them. Just not nutritious. Oh well.
