Ok, I'm awake - I'm wet - I have a stiff neck from falling asleep in a chair last night - and I need more room for chickens
Poor Spazz is hiding out in the barn, afraid to run the gauntlet. Cinnabon got chased all the way to the garage, then George kicked some major booty on Roscoe.
I let the bachelors out this morning - last time I did this, I had no trouble. I should have figured on trouble when Roscoe went after Hoss!!! Poor Hoss, took him by surprize. Then Roscoe turned his attentions to the other Spitz, and that one ran for cover. Roscoe just seems to be in an insane mood today - not sure if it's the weather, or Splat being taken out of the coop, but he is having a hissy fit all over everyone (George backed him down, nicely, though). George ignored them last time - only reason he got into it this time is that Roscoe was chasing his woman - that's a no-no.
I think they've all got cabin fever
and it isn't even that bad out yet. I'll leave the bachelors out to get some "fresh air" today, maybe that'll cool Roscoe down.
I'd love to be able to let them all out to free-range, but it isn't possible (not yet, anyway). The cochin bantams, I think wouldn't want to be out today anyhow
it is pretty icky out there. Of course the layers and George insisted on it, so I let them out, they are currently all (except Spazz) huddled together in the garage, trying to stay dry. The guineas are even being polite so they can huddle with the rest of them. The bachelors are huddled behind the metal shed
- not exactly water proof or wind proof.
Spazz probably has the best room on the farm right now - the barn is dry and pretty cozy, actually. (well, best room as far as critters go)
Speckles and Rudy looked like they weren't happy with each other this morning, either, so since the bachelors are out for the day, I put Specks into the bachelor pen by himself.
you're right, Cindy, he isn't easy to catch - even in the 8x8 coop I had to chase him around a few times. He is a heavy chicken, too!!
Well, I hope Roscoe doesn't cause a fuss out there all day, I'll have to go try to catch his stoopid butt and pen him up someplace if he does. That won't be easy.
Well, gonna catch up on some BYC.
