Really good, they love wandering around my yard and they don't seem interested in the veggies we grow so that's a relief. Also they know the run and the coop are their safe zone now and go into the coop on their own at night  yesterday a helicopter flew overhead and they ran all the way across the yard into the coop so they must feel pretty familiar with the place already

i'll never forget when doing the census work, going to this lady's house in the country side, and she had a flock of boks just milling about on the road, and i ended up interviewing her as she fed her 600lb hogger in the back

they're inseparable it's so cute also when the sun gets low they get antsy and start cheeping a lot but they're not quite sure if they want to go to bed yet... at this time they get extremely cuddly i think bc they're slightly afraid of the dark evidence:

Please be careful friends and trust fluffieduckie. When I was young I used to have ducks and chickens. I thought they would be secure enough but raccoons are crafty and killed them all. Not to be a downer but please practice safe bok'ing.

The restaurant should have given the guy an egg but how weird and out of touch do you have to be to go to the store and stand triumphantly in font of the eggs. I can just imagine him being super smug with his wife hiding her face as a bunch of small children laugh at the egg man. He is wearing a cape and everything.

Day 22: The boks appear to have accepted me as their leader. When I let them out of their run in the evening while i'm home, any time I walk to a place in the garden to gather veggies or something, they rush after me and then hang out hunting bugs/weeds in my vicinity. If I walk to another part of the garden, they follow again. If I go inside, they go back to doing their own thing. Pepper, who is the leader while I am away, appears to be as loyal as Penelope. But I must keep a careful eye on her - a bok as clever as she is never content being second-leader for long...

Really though I live in the city and hawk and falcon sightings are rare enough that I generally feel okay letting them out. Plus every time I come near their run they beg to be let out, so clearly it adds to their quality of life. So it's a risk yes but one that i feel is outweighed by their enjoyment. It's like letting a cat spend some of its time outside. Sure it might be more likely to get hit by a car, but if the cat absolutely loves being outside then you might consider it a fair risk. |

I had chickens in the country and we had a couple hawk attacks, but no fatalities. the hens would dive for cover in bushes, and at least one rooster defended himself from an attack. I had much worse luck in the city due to raccoons
