New Digs

As the daylight was waning and the Chickens were beginning to settle themselves into their Roosts for the night, Melanie and Richard transferred 12 of the Littles into the Brooder House.  Those 12 were all little Pullets.  For a brief moment, the Teacher in me almost put a blank beside "Pullets" for the Reader to fill in.  But I resisted.

So who are the Pullets?  Pullets are young female Chickens, who will become part of our laying flock.  Up until now, the Pullets and the Cockerels (young Roosters) have all been in the same house. 

The numbers of Pullets broke down as follows:  6 Buff Orpingtons, 4 Delawares, and 2 New Hampshire Reds. I wonder what they are thinking about as they settle into their new Digs.
