Release day for Perchick etc

Slow release…

First I propped up the side of the chickery with a rock;  the chicks started leaking out immediately.

They could also get out over the top.

There she goes – Perchick over the top.

Mom, you’re not going to believe this!

And … everyone’s out.

But wait –

I’m not ready to commit!

a holdout.

Chickens as they were meant to be.

What’s all this?

Oh, here comes another hen, investigating.

They figured out what food pans are for.

And met the guinea.

This one’s very independent, often apart.  Probably a rooster.

Chick heaven.
