Sugar and Nutmeg are so bald that I can't really call them fluffy right now. It is really sad!
Today I had a little time to go hang out with the fluffies. They haven't been outside much since the last snowfall. I keep putting seeds and scratch grains out to lure them out of their house, but they're wise to this game. The most adventurous chicken is Pepper because she is completely over her molt. Cinnamon is doing okay. Sugar is a crabby little thing. But Nutmeg, oh man, she barely even comes down from the roost. If I pick her up by the feet and set her on my lap, then she's okay with being outside. Hopefully she's eating those seeds when I'm not looking, and her feathers will start to come in soon. Then I can bring her in and help her preen like when Cinnamon was looking all cold and pathetic.
I feel like I haven't been spending enough time with the chickens. Since there are only 4 of them now it's harder for them to stay warm and active. They'll be okay, but it is always a nice pick-me-up to go see them.
Time to get back to work! Have a good evening.
