Half a bottle of margarita left, and I'm sitting here on a Saturday night drinking straight Kool-aid. What a lightweight....

I'm having boxed wine in a regular glass. Cause all my other glasses are in the sink.

Litterboxes need dumped and completely redone. I bought new litter but havent gotten around to doing it yet. Lazy. Me and Mr Toes are hanging out on the couch watching Storage Wars.

Ewww, gross story time.

Poor Poof Face, she's one of the two chickens that got attacked and nearly eaten awhile back when i left the door open one night.
She's healed from that, but when I went to check for eggs this afternoon, oh my gosh, she was by the gate with her head stuffed under a board, and her back was pecked badly, I was afraid to pull her out, is she alive? Oh, she's barely breathing. All the other chickens ran out, so I let them. i ran and got son, HELP ME!! Poof Face pulled her head out, her comb is completely pecked off, and her head is swollen nearly 3 times the size and one eye swollen shut.
This is my 9 year old girl.

Then I walked over to get the isolation cage ready and Pecky the rooster ran over there and started attacking her. I saved her and put her in the isolation cage with neosporin all over her.
When Pecky got up onto the roost, I grabbed him and he fought and flapped like crazy and he went into the transportation cage.

Bye, bye Pecky, you are pretty but you can not stay.

And I hugged pony and now bun bun is in my chair.

I had a roo that was like that. He got dropped kicked across the pen right into Ken's arms and straight into a box. Buh bye.

Well that sucks. Stupid rooster.

I have the best rooster now. Horribly quality. Too small for breed (cochin). Red leakage. Vulture hocks.

GREAT to his girls, all the eggs are fertile, ignores me and "watches" strangers in the yard, does hawk calls and is nice to the babies. Is GREAT about calling ladies over for treats and even lets the "kids" take his food.

It's a shame he is such crappy quality otherwise. He makes great mixes where type doesn't matter. Great guy.

Well, Pecky has just discovered he is a rooster. Only been crowing for a couple weeks. has not tired to attack humans yet or anything.
Poof Face is my alpha hen. And she is the one that pecked Picky to death, and the one that eats eggs and ate the eggs that had chickies in them. She is mean to some of the other girls. Weird, cuz she didn't used to be, getting grumpy in her old age I suppose.
I wanted to keep Pecky, only because he is one of my hens babies, and Cotton and Sheila hatched them together. But, well, I don't normally keep a rooster, and I don't need fertile eggs. He is the breed of chicken that runs wild around here, and then hen is the breed that runs wild around here, game chickens. But oh well, I suppose. I'm going to call the guy that took my last rooster and see if he is interested.
