Two legged are the worst. I came home yesterday and discovered that sombody had opened one of my runs. Half of my chickens were running around unsupervised. I don't know if it was an adult or older kid being criminal or a curious unsupervised little kid being a nuisance. Everybody came back to the coop, but one of my Golden Cuckoo Marans pullets seems ill or injured. There are no marks on her, but she's moving slow like she's sore. I suspect injury rather than sickness. Maybe somebody tried to grab her or kick her or something. She's spending today in the hospital cage. I guess I'm picking up some locks today. On the bright side, the run they opened was the one that has the bigger meaner rooster in it. Rodney can be difficult with people that haven't established their dominance with him. I would imagine that when somebody was threatening one of the girls he might have gotten his spurs working. He's a Jersey Giant so he's pretty good sized too. Maybe he's the reason that whoever it was didn't get the chance to open the other run.
