12:10:12mintythere were 3 white ones that were a little older but all of the recent ones artemis hatched are gone. so now there's only two white ones that are 3 months old
12:11:22mintythere was a spot i was leaving open for the white hens to come and go as they started to explore the yard n mingle with some of the olders, but they could use it to escape if they started getting harassed by the roosters
12:14:59mintyyounger hens that are being slowly integrated into the flock need escape routes starting out or they can get bullied and our dog had previously killed two possums in the chicken area but there was another so
12:15:40mintypossums don't actively hunt chickens but if they have an opportunity they will absolutely grab defenseless ones
12:16:04mintyas it is the nursing coop there were no boys to defend
