I went out to find a hutch door open where I have been keeping 4 young bantam roosters. I couldn't find feather nor footprint anywhere. So, I went about doing chores, and I see one of them under an empty coop I use in Summer. I squeezed through the fencing that is frozen in and get over to him, and here comes Jerome, my silly cat. He scares the rooster, who then flies off out of that section of the pasture and onto a different coop where I can reach him more easily. I get back through the fence, and go grab him. As I am walking back over to his hutch, here is the other little rooster sitting in the snow. I don't know where the heck he was, but both are back in where they are supposed to be. I have no idea how that hutch ever got open though, and that bothers me a bit. I have a hook and eye latch on it, and I know it was closed after I did chores yesterday.
I am letting the cats sleeping in the brooder house until it starts warming back up tomorrow. They are making a mess in there though and knock stuff down and pooping where they shouldn't be, even though I have a litter box in there and they both know how to use it.
