Mayhem at my house! Holy crap.

My AC cockerel, Lafayette, looked like he was possibly getting a teeny bit of frostbite on his giant, fleshy, BBC. So I grabbed him (he's very shy and timid) out of the run and brought him inside to oil him up, lol.

I had him on my lap in the living room and was lubing him down with Vaseline. Comb, wattles. He seemed to be liking it. (My hubby was giving me a "WTF?!" look, but I am used to it, and mostly ignore him.) Then, since he was being so good, I rewarded him with some mealworms.

That's when all hell broke loose!

He hopped out of my lap and flapped onto the coffee table, knocking my (full) coffee mug everywhere. All over my chicken books, magazines, journals, floor, DH's tablet, everywhere. What a freaking mess!

After I got it all cleaned up and he laid a giant turd on the floor (Lafayette--not hubby), I went out to return him to his ladies, and as I gave them all mealworms, they all attacked my hands. Cuz I actually left the house a couple days ago and got a sparkly red gel manicure, and I guess to a chicken, that is THE color they like the best, lol! They pecked my fingers like they were the ripest strawberries ever. Little peckerheads!

And on that note, I am going to go food shopping for tonight.

Glad you specified it was Lafayette that pooped

The 5 gallon galvanized water can

So You thread the cord out through the water outlet? I never liked metal waterers, especially in summer. Mine are plastic though i dislike that too. Maybe mixing feed with water would be good in winter, until it freezes if they don't eat it right away. You would have to know just how much to feed them.

What are you going to try, it really doesn't say?

I answered Sams post which was right above mine.

I know!! I wonder how many Silkie Roo’s I have too!


I have 2 of these, different watts, in my former turtle tank, now fish tank. They are going strong for 3 years. I think that is a great idea too.

We went out for a bit today. Took the puppy with us.
She now has a shiny pink tag with her name and our phone numbers. There are 4 new dog toys that she has claimed as hers. Little toy hoarder that she is.
A new more permanent baby gate that swings open to keep her out of the bathroom, kitty room and my seldom used office.
I was already tired of stepping over the old and slightly broken one.

Oh and the birds got a bag of feed. Yes just the necessary things.

Now on to laundry and dinner.

Because our Buddy can jump like the dickens, AND has a habit of pooping in whatever room he's in, we put up 3 permanent gates. We need a 4th!! lol
