Angry update - stepping out of scribe mode to rant!
Our usual pet sitter wasn't available this weekend, so she sent a replacement. We got home late late late last night, so just went to bed. This morning I found chickens running loose in the back yard, locked OUT of their coop, which means they were unprotected all night! There were about 8 chickens in an unused pen with water but no food. When I let them out, they went straight to the food trough and ate for about 20 minutes!
The other pen that houses Petunia, my little hen who doesn't know she's a chicken, was left wide open overnight!
I don't see anybody missing, although just did a quick head count so far. When I get off work, I will look closer. I'm so angry! My chickens deserve better than this!
I think we were very, very lucky.
Okay, rant over. Back to happy Brahmalot thoughts.
