1)Meeting convened under house arrest! Subcommittee on domestic policies recognized that after 1 day locked in the chicken coop, that chicken crap stinks! Several Americaunas recommended that the Barred Rocks show more discretion about pooing in the water and food. Rhonda the Rhode Island Red clucked her agreement and asked head of CRS to officially reprimand said BRs for their indiscretion. Until all chickens are released to free range, BRs must wait for food and water at the back of the line and will not be permitted to stand with rear ends pointed at food or water. Pecking is permitted to reinforce. A special note to pullets, if the crap was yours you'll be pecked whether your facing the food/water or not.
2)Broody Wynadotte hen recognized for her tolerance and long suffering. For some reason all 15 hens want to lay in the one box she is inhabiting. The wynadotte hen in question was noted as being particularly patient as RIR, Americauna, BR and pullets paraded through her nesting box while she sat diligently on a clutch of no less than 22 eggs. Rhonda clicked her agreement and said tomorrow we will all try to lay our eggs in a different box. Special note to pullets: you may be pecked if you try to climb into the box again, or if you don't. be warned!
3)2 wynadottes expressed outrage at CRS head Agnes sleeping at the top of the ladder. They remarked that she took up the whole top of the ladder. They must be confused. CRS head Agnes is a white leghorn and is a fragile delicate swan, not a crazy chicken. Their remarks and concerns were dismissed. Special note to pullets: Don't sleep in my spot or I'll peck you!
4)Rhonda commented that the people's new garden had been planted... That we'd missed the best eating since one of the people dropped a whole watermelon while carrying it into the house. Several Barred rocks confirmed the use of green plant cover, making the delicacies left by the people nearly inaccessible. Special care is to be taken if any hen enters the grow boxes to not leave evidence of activity. That means no pooing! Special note to pullets: NO POOING IN THE GARDEN! POOING IN THE GARDEN WILL RESULT IN SEVERE PECKING!
5)Meeting was to be adjurned when the neighbors dog wandered through the back yard. I quickly called all the hens to order, who had been catcalling the dog, trying to entice it into the coop. The door was closed and it wouldn't have been able to enter anyway. Note: the neighbors dog is a flully mutt that likes to sleep next to chickens. Many chickens enjoy sleeping in proximity to the neighbors dog as it is warm and fairly cuddly. Special note to pullets: you know by now...
Until next week, we remain you humble and benevolent leadership in the Chicken Rebuttal Society.
