Crias and roosters/Cynjim
Missy and Tippy are growing quickly. It's fun to watch them chase roosters. The roosters have become part of their obstacle course. When they do their evening romps, they seem to move their course so they are leaping over at least one of the roosters. It also helps keep the roosters up longer. We notice that the earlier the roosters hide in their house, the earlier they crow.
Sunday morning, I noticed the roosters hadn't crowed (this was about 6 am). I woke Jim up, telling him I think something happened to them. He told me they were sleeping in. What I didn't know is the alpacas kept waking them up, so the roosters crowed whenever the lights were on. Our lights are motion detectors, so everytime an alpaca leaves the barn, the outside lights go on. Jim said they have been crowing in the middle of the night, and since he wanted a quiet morning, he blocked them in their house & made sure no light got in. They finally figured out it was daylight at about 7:00.
