today was a productive day on the mint farm
fenced in the small red coop n moved pip n the ladies over so they will have room to walk around. the small red coop is just a better coop for baby chicks to walk around in
end goal is to put up openable gates on each side and then alternate which flocks get to free range

it's crazy cuz the other roos are down bad. roosters get testosterone surges first thing in the morning n right before bed
since pip only has two hens n one is broody i literally saw bro find a stray feather on the ground, pick it up, and mate with it
honey, due to being lowest on the rooster chain, tries to court me by doing the "look i found food" pipping sound and i wish i could have gotten a picture of it cuz honey tried to woo me with a piece of microplastic
