"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Ugh, miserable weather today. I hesitated this morning when I was letting my girls out to free range, but it's better than them standing in a muddy run all day. They have access to the coop, but in true chicken form took the dumb route and have been standing on the patio absolutely DRENCHED and screaming to be let in. :he

I have my daughter and her current boyfriend rebuilding my ancient coop. Unfortunately, while he was building, she set into tearing down the old one. Now the poor birds are totally confused and homeless as one coop is half destroyed and the other is half built. They have relocated themselves as a group into one of the goat stalls in the barn. The goats are a bit aggravated, but no one wants to get rained on.
 
Well the roo I been trying to get rid of forever got out and whooped his dad's butt. I don't know if dad has eyes under all that scab and crust. Pic is a bit gross. Dad's not tame. I was able to handle him some. He's really sore and depressed. I managed to clean him up a little & got him to drink and eat. I also put some antibiotic opthalmic gel over his eyes, trying to soften the gunk. We shall see.

Oh no, poor buddy! Praying for both of y'all.
 
The older roo is much better this morning. He still looks terrible but another application of the eye ointment got one eye open so he can see to eat and get around This is good because he really does not appreciate my concern or medical attention! So late this morning I saw his gimpy, bedraggled self doing the chicken dance in front of the currently penned up and puffed up Sonny-boy.
No body here learns. Doesn't matter, hard way or easy way, they just don't learn.
