Move Update


Several birds were moved to the new loft section. Frisco, Dover, Salem and Roswell all moved to their new nestbox with very little incident. NOTE: The door needs to be swapped so that the entrance is on the same side as the strut board.

As of this AM, Savannah is not sitting on her one egg. The other egg is due to be laid tonight - perhaps she will begin incubating. Dallas is reacting poorly to move. Very skittish and refused to leave perch overnight.

Jack and Chile, Sydney and Fairbanks moved this morning. Jack is very agitated, attempting to re-enter the old loft by hanging on the adjoining door.

OTHER: Chile and Paris had violent fight overnight or this morning. Both beaks and wattles were bloodied and cut. Chile is in the new loft and Paris remains in the old section.

Things to do over the weekend: Finish the roof, install the remainder of the nestbox fronts, sweep more, install landing board over trap, bring in solid feedbin and water supply.

Once everything is set up: Move in Marty and possibly Topeka and Finny.
