The chickens are like real grown up chickens now. They no longer have a lamp on at night, they have a ladder so they can walk in and out of their house (although Peck hasn't quite figured it out - she walks down the ladder backwards) and they spend most of the day outside pecking around in their coop.They are still locked into their house at night - this will be the case for ever as we don't want raccoons or other creatures making nocturnal visits.

| Lucy at the chicken swap |
Lucy's friend Evan came for a visit and they spent a lot of time wrangling the chickens. At one point Lucy and Evan were inside the chicken house and the three chickens were outside. Hmm...
After brunch on Easter Sunday, we all went to a chicken swap in Metchosin. We got there near the end of the swap but there were still lots of chickens to see. Lucy made a beeline to the crate with all the baby chicks - there was some pleading regarding bringing one home but that didn't happen. We did almost come home with a 3 month old
Silkie chicken but we were told that our bigger
Wyandottes and
Brahma would most definitely pick/peck on the Silkie.
