Flock Friday for December 27

The pictures this week are pretty evenly split between hummingbirds, ducks, and chickens.

The hummingbirds have been very hungry this week; I’ve been having to refill their favorite feeder pretty much every day. There are 11 hummers on this feeder; can you see all of them?

The chickens have mostly kept to their own coops so far, though Lola (the introverted chicken) did spend one night in the new coop:

After refilling the feeder (yet again), I stood there a moment and captured them a couple of feet away:

Ducks

More frozen pond; they struggled through the ice to come see me (or rather Gert struggled while Bert followed along behind; I’m sure one could have gender commentary about that):

On rounds (see Rory by the coop), the chickens rushing to the new coop, where I was dispensing treats for the chickens there:
