One coop now

An Eastern rat snake, maybe 5', was curled behind the chicken feed just inside the coop today at 5:00.  I encouraged it to remove itself with a gentle nudge from a rake. Then I sprinkled diatomaceous earth in that corner to discourage further visits. 
I found the littlest peeps (who are bigger than footballs now at 8 wks) huddled behind the open coop door when I went out to put everyone to bed.  I picked up one and the rest followed me into the coop.  Yeah! No more chicken tractor.  I hope it's permanent and they don't need the tractor any more.
Gambol got stung on the eyebrow on his late afternoon walk.  His whole brow was swollen like a (human) boxer's. By our after-dinner walk, he looked much better.  Facebook Brittany page  members say children's Benedryl helps, although he didn't seem to be too distressed after the initial yelp.  Maybe he wants a story written about him like Ferdinand?
