Good thing to do. Probably some lost clothes just like what you're giving back

According to the guy at church there's many people who escaped with just their lives and the clothes they were wearing. I asked what was needed and he said "Everything".Good thing to do. Probably some lost clothes just like what you're giving back
And winter is coming.

Heading home this morning, should be able to see my critters
after lunchtime.Phone shots:
Weather has been delightful, 70s, but overnight it dropped to the mid 40s, breezy. I'm glad I brought my heavy hoodie.

My chicken sitter reported no problems, until the day before we came home. He did the waterers and feeders, checked for eggs, nothing out of the ordinary. As he was about to open the door and leave the run he said the "big rooster" rushed at him, stopped, then started "crowing". Sounds like Zacchaeus decided to be assertive about his territory, all 128 square feet of it!
I currently have 11 bantams. Those higher in the pecking order get first dibs on the main roost (7' long) and the lower ranked chickens settle for the A-frame roost, almost as high. When I went out this evening after dark I heard a little twittering. I went in to check for late afternoon eggs, then noticed that they're ALL on the main roost! It's been chilly here, mid-forties, and I think it's cold enough to make a crowded roost much more appealing.
And Zack was in the middle, playing referee perhaps?

Nice get away, you need that sometimes. But it sure is nice to get back home!

There are feathers, feathers everywhere, I have exploding chickens in the coop.
So I gave them some extra protein, a couple handfuls of dry cat food!

Not the best quality photo, but here's all eleven:
I like how they've finally integrated!
