Truce?

Wilma and I have declared a truce...as least I hope so.  I gave her independence back to her for the holiday and released her from her pen in the big chicken house.  She stayed there for a day and roosted on the highest roost last night.  Today she finally wandered over to the other chicken house.  As insurance, and to assure her adherence to the truce, I placed buckets in her two preferred nests.  If she still has that urge to become a momma she will need to find another space to do so.

The Tom's were happy to see her again and immediately started fighting for the number one pecking position, quite literally.  I allowed Thor to break them up a few times and then decided to just let them work it out.  I was pretty sure they wouldn't kill each other.  Hopefully that was a correct assessment.
