We reinacted the killing fields here this weekend. Feeling a little sad. We had 4 old layers. My original chickens. They had quit laying but we had put all the cockerels in withem. I don't think they liked that one bit. They never started laying again. I thought they were too old, I guess they were just on strike because my husband found eggs developing. I feel bad.
Funny story. We had been missing one old hen for three days. Couldnt find hide nor hair of her. My husband searched and searched. Well he was processing the three old hens yesterday. I went out to feed scratch to that Randy group of cockerels. The cockerels were making that sound they make to call the hens. Out pops a head from the hay bales. She had been hiding in there for three days. I gave her a stay of execution. Her name is now lucky. We will see how she integrates into the gen pop. My stupid buff lace polish was acting like she is a cockerel.. she is a black sex link and I had a young cockerel the same color as her. He was going on and on. Gesturing puffing his chest. Flaring his feathers. I think he finally figured out it's a she. Hopefully she won't get picked on when I let her out of her box.
Yeah, guess I am just sad about some chickens.


Would you prefer being called JULIE or h2oratt?
