The Chicken Chronicles 11.20.20

The kids helped me paint the coop and run - the final step!
Ben also added thick plastic sheeting to the run to offer the flock
some protection from the wind, since winter will set in soon.

They still like to hang out under the raspberry bushes,
even though there are no more raspberries to be found.

We discovered that the chickens like avocados.

Cat gets credit for the biggest discovery this week: Bandit doesn't like any shade of red.  He tried to take a chunk out of my arm when I was wearing my maroon jacket; he attacked Eliza when she went outside in bright pink pajama pants; he pecked at Luke's red bike helmet; and more.  Cat was the one who recognized what all of these things have in common, and after a quick Google search we realized that it's not unusual for roosters, and other animals, to be aggressive when they see the color red.  Check out the video below to see what Bandit did to Cat's red and navy blue soccer ball.
