It took awhile for the Buffs to transition when they were moved into the coop last summer, and now Chicken Little too. Although I have to say s/he wanted to go into the coop; it just took building up the nerve I guess. :)<br /><br />Debbie, the guineas will have to wait until next spring. This is mostly because of availability this time of year, though it's probably better because we'll have more time to prepare for them.<br /><br />Carolyn, isn't it funny how goats let chickens roost on them? A couple of my goats won't move when they have a chicken on their back. If I call they'll look at me like, "I'm occupied!"<br /><br />Barb, yea indeed! I've heard a lot of horror stories about blending, and had a horrible experience last year. So nice when things turn out well.

They never want to go into the "big scary coop" and I hand-deliver them for a while, but eventually they catch on. Oh, and my goats seem to LOVE it when chickens roost on them.

Hopefully we're starting to figure the animal situation out.<br /><br />Sunnybrook, so true. It's sad and annoying that they all chase and pick on Chicken Little, but like you say, it's their natural order of things. I'm hoping it isn't a rooster too!<br /><br />Renee, were you relieved? ;) Seems like chickens all like the top rung of the roost and will squabble over that. Usually all of them will spend the night on the top two. In winter, they do huddle together more. <br /><br />Bernadine, it's a relief to have Chicken Little make it so far. My big worry now is hawk migration, of which we're in the path. One has been hanging around quite a bit. Fortunately my chickens learned about hawks the hard way last summer. They know to stay undercover when one is nearby.

And such a sweet goat too to let the little chick "roost" on top! I'm also happy for the mother hen to have been successful at raising her chick.
