We have a new weather station. Papa Hen and I are still learning how to read all the data it gives us and as soon as we figure it out, we will start a new television station called <i>The Weather From Red Door Coop</i>. I'll let you know when it goes live. Adding the weather station required moving the whirligig. It still spins like crazy! <br />

They are looking healthy, getting along, and have mostly quit molting. Except for David. Over the holidays, Weezy finished molting and is looking gorgeous again. David started molting. <br />

Jim is still supervising all chicken chores. BB ignores us as she struts her stuff around the coop. Brian just eats and eats and eats. Murphy is skittish. Weezy is even more skittish. David is busy trying to get the "in" with Jim and Murphy. <br />

It is rare to get all six hens in one shot, but I was lucky this morning. They all decided to gobble up their scratch together after Papa Hen and I cleaned the coop.<br />

Something essential to good chicken care: fresh water. In the winter we fill old vinegar bottles at the sink in our laundry room and carry them out to the birds daily. In the summer we use the hose.<br />

She was at least six years old give or take a little, a bit on the chubola side in her older years, and hasn't been herself in a few weeks. <br />
<br />
As a younger hen she was the best layer and squawked loudly and consistently...and to be honest, annoyingly! In the early morning, her voice drove us batty (and probably the neighbors too, but they were too kind to complain). <br />
<br />
We will miss her squawk in Red Door Coop.<br />
<br />
Here is the old girl with her chicken family. <br />

<br />
The new and old chickens are adapting well. We don't know if it is the temperaments of the new chickens, the 2-week long getting-to-know-you period, or just dumb luck, but this has been the easiest transition we've had adding new birds to the flock. <br />
<br />
Here are the new chickens. David is on the left and Brian on the right.<br />

Woohoo! We were able to get these photos during a commercial break in the 5th Inning. <br />
GO SPORTS!<br />
<br />
(If you are counting chickens you may notice only six hens, not seven. Jim sleeps in a nesting box. We fought her bad habit for awhile and gave up. Jim won.)<br />

We put food and water up on the loft. We added some overturned flowerpots for jumping on and hiding in. Then we made the big change. We carried Brian and David into the coop and put them up on the roost. There were a few squawks and then all was quiet. Seven chickens quiet.<br />
<br />
This morning the birds are squawking. Seven chickens squawking. A new pecking order must be established and it takes some negotiating. The old girls are fighting for higher spots. The new girls have to introduce themselves to the old girls. It is a power struggle.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's what it looks like with seven hens in the coop.<br />

<br />
They are named David and Brian. David for Mama's Hen's older brother and Brian for Papa Hen's younger brother. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z4_6B8BgX-8/WATRS7X8kuI/AAAAAAAAFxE/ri86x5cq2Mca2Pb503xob9r5Gdg_1SxAQCLcB/s1600/IMG_6802.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z4_6B8BgX-8/WATRS7X8kuI/AAAAAAAAFxE/ri86x5cq2Mca2Pb503xob9r5Gdg_1SxAQCLcB/s320/IMG_6802.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
David, on the right, is the older of the two new hens. She is a <a href="https://www.cacklehatchery.com/cinnamon-queens.html" target="_blank">Cinnamon Queen</a> and will lay nice brown eggs. Brian is younger. Notice how her comb is not yet developed? She is a <a href="http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Day-Old-Baby-Chicks/Golden-Laced-Wyandotte-p236.aspx" target="_blank">Golden Laced Wyandotte</a>. They will both lay brown eggs.<br />
<br />
For the time being, the two hens will live in Red Door Coop pen, near the main coop. Over the course of the next two weeks we will slowly introduce and eventually integrate the two new girls with the five old girls.<br />
<br />

While Papa Hen closed up the swamp cooler, installed two new motion sensor lights (after a midnight visit from four huge raccoon in our yard last weekend), and installed a new screen door with a doggie door, Mama Hen took care of the gardens. It was fall clean up time! The marigolds will remain for a little while. </div>

We had some volunteer squash in the gardens this year. We have no idea of their variety. Do you?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These are the neglected squash that I decided to leave for now. I'm curious about how big they will grow.<br />

The chickens' cleaning lady (Mama Hen) stopped in and left them with fresh dirt in the dirt bath. Squawk!<br />

The sometimes seeming juvenile delinquent puppy put on quite a show when he executed all of his commands almost perfectly and learned to catch popcorn. Here is the evidence.<br />

The green and white plastic flaps play a little trick on the chickens. Somehow the flaps help to hide the nesting boxes so the hens don't spend multiple hours a day lazing around inside of them. Instead, it seems as though a teeny-tiny light bulb blinks on, tells the hen it is egg laying time, they do their jobs and then go back into the chicken run. When the boxes were open all the time, we had a lot of lazing around. <br />
<br />
Bill is molting, not that you can tell from this picture. She just looks like a gorgeous senior citizen hen. However, her belly is getting a bit bare and we seem to be picking up about a hundred black and green feathers a day.<br />

Papa Hen caught Honker in the backyard eating grass and other plants. Yummy.<br />

This planter is/was our herb garden. Then a squash plant volunteered to grown there. We don't really mind, but we wish it would tell us its name. Anyone recognize this variety? <br />

While the chickens are getting no love in this blog post, we did spend quite a bit of time cleaning out Red Door Coop this weekend.
