One couldn’t ask for a better example of why A) it’s impossible to keep the bathroom properly clean while the chicks are in residence; and B) regardless of how cute they are, by the end of three weeks I’m more than ready for them to go into their playpen in the henhouse. This turkey chick is clearly a week or so older than the chickens, and gets all over the place; last week it was just the toilet lid, but starting late last week this sort of thing became a daily occurrence. And it’s not just while I’m absent, oh no; twice in the past few days I was brushing my teeth in peace when I suddenly heard flapping and then felt it land on my back, climbing up until it reached my shoulder. I’ve got to admit it makes me laugh, but all the same I’m glad they’re moving to the coop today, so I can get the bathroom clean of pine shavings, food crumbles, poop, unidentifiable specks of schmutz, and ants before my Easter company arrives this weekend.
