Today was unlike most others. I get up around 6 am....drink my coffee....check the BYC..then about 9 am, I go and let the RIR who are just over a year old out to do thier daily rangeing. They follow me around for a while, while I get feed for everyone....and beg for treats. After about an hour out there with them, I come inside. They are still free rangeing. DH gets up, and we enjoy a cup of coffee....then head out to move more dirt. ( we had 150 TONS brought in). After about 2 hrs of dirt moveing....I go inside to get lunch. DH heads out to the shop. ( thats where the coops are) He comes in after a few minutes and says, I think you better come out here. So, I head out....and stop dead in my tracks at the gardens edge. There they were.....mutilated......... little green tomatoes everywhere!!! The chickens have attacked!!! My poor dear tomato plants. They didnt have a chance. I throw my arms in the air, and start waileing like a banchee indian. The hens reaction was.....what? You mean these are not for us!?? So, I set forth building a fence for the garden, to save the few injured plants that are left. Hopeing to save the cantelope and watermelon. BAD CHICKENS!! LOL UGH, what a day! LOL
