Day 6

Chickens were still in the coop when I checked on them at 6:30a this morning.

Came home for lunch and was happy to see the Ameracuna had her voice back and the Wyandotte that had some mucus issues looked better; no mucus.

This evening let them out again and gave them some strawberry pieces.  So far I haven't found anything they go nuts over but they're interested and instantly go peck at whatever I throw out to them.

Except for the Ameracuna the Wyandottes and Barred Rock seem to have little issue with me standing or sitting within a foot of them.  They get a little flighty if I reach my hand out or crouch down.  The Barred Rock and the Wyandotte I can catch are calm once I get them picked up and cradled.

It is only a week in and I'm seeing progress so its just a matter of time.  They do line-up near the door when they see me knowing its time to go out and mostly wander back to the coop/run on their own at sunset.  And they seem to be using the coop more instead of laying in the dirt.  No eggs yet but I'm expecting in the next few weeks it will happen.
