The Bucket Bunker

[Sumatra503]

Okay, so last night one of my chickens went missing. She is a 3 month old bantam cochin cross and is pretty small.

I was worried sick, cause there was a huge storm last night with 60 mile per hour gusts.

This morning I noticed that the gallon icecream bucket I use for water was tipped upside down. I lifted up the bucket to fill it. I screamed and about fell over backwards when my my flew out at my face from under the bucket. She just looked up at me as though to say, "Please don't tell the gals." and started eating as though nothing had happened.

She spent the entire night in the Bucket Bunker and was only a little bit damp. Maybe I should make myself a little bunker for the next big storm or mmaybe the end of the world.

Needless to say. I'll be checking beneath the bucket whenever I see it tipped.

You got a picture of the particular problem child so we can admire her?
