So this morning I am taking full advantage of sleeping in (which is a huge rarity for me) and I hear a commotion out at the coops. I stumble out there to find Bill and G2 and their ladies standing out in their coop runs just going off like something is in their coops. I look in both coops and it gets quiet for a moment (probably when they caught glimpse of my pink muck boots and the pink fuzzy robe
) but then they pick right back up, but this time the chatter is louder than before. I step out of the coop door and look up and am looking a huge bull elk pretty much in the face!!!!!!! I very slowly slipped back into the coop and stood behind the door and watched them out the window....they are amazing and of course I didn't have my camera. He and his ladies are gingerly taking a stroll through the property and they came out of nowhere, but the chooks knew they were there. I knew I heard an elk call this morning when I was comtemplating actually getting out of bed, but thought it was either my imagination or my snory teller.
