TAILGATING
Cutest Bird Ever!!!
I'm so excited. So, so excited. And better prepared this time - we had chickens a couple of years ago and had a mink (we think, based on the carnage) get in and tear through the entire flock.
This year I'm super prepped for security (knock on wood)! Locking hen house, stronger fence, and hard cloth that will go below the ground level.
Quick question regarding the chicks though. Until they're able to go outside, can they be kept in the bird room? They'll be in a little brooder pen type deal to contain them, and on newspaper for easy cleanup, but would the poop/dust/their presence bother and tiel and too?
Isadora adamantly refuses to walk on floors (or any flat surface), so I don't worry about her getting too close, but Tteok can fly and thoroughly enjoys walking around on floors. Not to mention they'll never be left alone with the chicks. I figured I'd ask beforehand to make sure there's not going to be an issue.
