The other day while my wife and I were in the house we heard a commotion out in the yard. We went to investigate and everything seemed fine. Then we noticed Red our Rhode Island Red rooster was missing. Everything in the yard was fine. I checked the coop and he wasn't there and again no signs of predator involvement. Yet he was missing. He had never flown away before so we started looking all over the yard and neighborhood. To make a long story short I had placed a small plastic tub in the run with clean sand for them to bath with. They weren't using it so I dumped the clean sand out on the ground and they liked it that way. Well I had left the tub in the run. Apparently Red thought it would be nice to perch on the rim. His weight caused the tub to flip trapping him underneath. My wife kept hearing him and said he had to be in the area. As I walked past the tub he squawked at me. He was so happy when I removed the tub. He ran around the run flapping and yelling what I took as "fowl" language. He then came up to me as if to say thank you. Another fun day in the life with chickens.
