Charlie is taking over...it insists on following me around now and won't stay in its box. As I type it's sleeping on my lap in the folds of my sweatshirt. If I move or disturb it ... it lets me know in most uncertain terms that it does not appreciate being moved around while trying to sleep.
On it's first foray out of the box it decided that it would try cuddling up to my dog. Good thing Nero is an old pro at chicks. He just tolerated being pecked and prodded until Charlie found a spot it liked. Good thing my other dog was outside...she probably would've tried to eat Charlie
Here they are....making friends...
postscript: I was told to refresh people's memories and let them know that Sam was my pet chicken...she lived in the house and slept in bed with me. She was very spoiled.
