Redwood's new Buff Orpington chickens, named Lil' Peep, Chicki Minaj, and Chickira, have been getting used to their new home on the farm over the past few weeks. They are less fearful of students and more comfortable being picked up or hand-fed. However the rain this week combined with high tides have caused some problems for the chickens, as their run has been flooding lately! Our brave birds like to forage for bugs that the rains drive to the surface, so they've been wading around in the water, risking hypothermia if their feathers get too wet. The farm is in the process of looking for concrete blocks which planks can be laid over to create a floor for the birds. Hopefully in the future the chickens won't have to risk getting their feathers wet when they go foraging after a rainstorm.
