Buffy is spending the nights on the high roost with the other hens again, claiming her place back within the flock, no longer separate with the chicks. The chicks roost all together in one of the waist high feed troughs, and will probably go higher when they are strong enough to fly up there. Chickens form their own society with very particular positions, the originators of the pecking order. While Buffy was raising the chicks she was out of the flock somewhat, and I am glad to see she is back amongst the others. The hens seem to accept the chicks and I am relieved to see no aggression towards them whatsoever.
