Fabulously freezing Flock Friday, friends! (The temperature was below freezing overnight.)

A shot from the new coop cam of three chickens on their favorite roost by the window:

A GIF of a fourth flying from the other roosts, and knocking the camera off:

A freeze-frame of landing on top of another chicken, causing that chaos:

The camera is magnetically attached to a metal plate wedged under the window screen; here it’s just hanging by its wire:

The ducks on the back lawn, rooting for bugs:

A time-lapse GIF of a chicken flying up to the roost and back down again:

Chickens hanging out on top of logs etc:

A bunch more pics of the chickens:

Kiwi is still looking quite scruffy, but you can see the new feathers coming in:

Ditto with Buffy:

I had a cunning idea, to make it easier to see if the pop doors are open or closed in the dark: I added reflective tape on the pop door:

And on the outside:

The old coop too (the horizontal one acts as an extra indicator, only being visible when the door is closed):

Here are roosting chickens again, with the light on:

A little spooky after the light goes off (it’s on a timer):

As it gets darker, the night-vision of the cam turns on:

The pop door closed; now clearly visible via the reflective strips:

I can see the state of the door outside too, via the reflective strips:

In the old coop, door open:

Door closed:

The ducks have recently been hanging out on the bank to the left of the pond deck:

It started raining, so the ducks came up to the lawn to hunt for worms that come to the surface during precipitation:

A GIF of a Rouen running up the bank, using her wings to assist:

Sassa doing the same:

She kept on going:
