Just added Mayhem with my newest toon! What should my last one’s name be?

Hi all!
I’ve got some nearly 8 week old hens that are trying to brood which i am psyched about, but want to make sure they continue to feel safe and happy enough to do so.
Every time i come to the enclosure they’ll get off the eggs so i will try and keep my visits sparse, and maybe fill up some extra feeders and waterers for lockdown days(?)
also am not sure if the roo i so blurrily captured (in the red anklet) is helping or pestering. should i move him out ?

I know they’re not often successful in hatching their own eggs in captivity so i know im getting my hopes up a lot but i want them to try and am just happy they’re happy enough to brood. any suggestions appreciated

My job just hired a company to come dig a site for a well. Came back the next day and noticed the beautiful silky material that came back up. Was considering drying out on trays, grinding it up well and adding an acrylic bonding agent of some sort. Does anyone know if this will work or have any experience with using this material?

The smallest, brownish one puffs himself up, stays low and walks backwards fairly often. The larger tuxedo runs around and rams into the others, not super aggressively but i’m curious about it.

Does this have something to do with sex? pecking order? or do they have some neurological or temperament issues?

Thanks guys! (these guys are roughly 2 weeks old also)
