Chickoletta was delivered to his new owner last week, who seemed quite happy that Chickoletta was (a) in such good condition, and (b) quite docile during the transfer. Though given that in the week since, I've noticed a lot fewer shed feathers in the chicken tractor, I have to wonder if Chickoletta was in fact a bit of a bully, or if having six chickens in the 4'x8' space was simply a bit of overcrowding?
Wonderful Husband has taken this week off, since it's the last week before Squiddle (remotely) starts school. We went to the Point Defiance Zoo on Tuesday, which had timed entry tickets, direction flow arrows on the ground, and required everyone over the age of five to wear masks. Despite the play area and the goat feeding station being closed, a good time was had by all. At the exit, we bought Jazzy a 6' corn snake toy, and Squiddle a small Lego-esque elephant to build.
Yesterday, we drove up to the Olympic Game Farm, since Wonderful Husband had never been. We drove through, feeding slices of bread to llamas, yaks, bears (behind fences), deer, buffalo, and reindeer. We were ignored by the elk and zebras, as well as by the predator animals (lions, tigers, wolves, and probably a few others that were hiding from view). Not as many bunnies roamed the grounds as in previous visits, but there were still plenty of peafowl about.
After the game farm, we sought out some lunch and as it was right by a quilt shop (which is apparently closing later this month), I popped in and found some fabrics which will become the boys' Christmas quilts. Then we drove up to Marymere Falls and did that brief hike. Not as crowded as last time! But by the time we got home and dinner finished... well, we all ate after 8pm. Long day!
