Chickens Being Chickens

This is as close to flying as Fitz can get. 

Lou is molting.  Look at her wings closely and you can see the pin feathers.
BB likes the shadows.  Have I ever mentioned that she is very slow to catch on to things?  Really.  The other four birds see the scratch jar in my hand and come running or "flying" like Fitz in the photo above.  BB won't even notice it until I walk over to her, physically pick her up, and carry her to the scratch on the ground.  Even then she will often peck at the clear plastic scratch container for the scratch it contains.  Oh well, I guess she does have her good looks and a pleasant temperament. 
Bill was hungrier than normal the other day and attempted to feast on Papa Hen's chicken shoe.  At least it kept her quiet for a few minutes.
 Here's Weezy.  The Loner.
