The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[The Moonshiner]

Moved several birds around today. Leghorn after leghorn after leghorn. Not a scratch. Moved the two Chocolate Orpington hens and this.....

Ya Orpingtons are gentle and calm and leghorns are crazy skittish and flighty.

I hate moving birds. Even cleaning a pen and you don’t lay a hand on them they lose their minds! My RIRs seem to be way worse than any other breed I’ve had.

I saw one of those leg hook catchers on Temu the other day. I think I'm gonna get a couple. I used one years and years ago. They're handy and the boys getting pretty good and pretty quick at it. I'm gonna need an equalizer to keep up with him.

From their nails?! I've done that and worse with babies, wire and the scovies, but even my skin doesn't let that damage happen from hen nails

Yeah. That is one nice thing about the ducks, they lose their minds too, but they don't launch off the ground. They bounce off walls and run around trying to break my ankles, but don't go into the air more than a few inches generally

Ya a hens nails.

Wire is the worst. Idk why but everytime I do anything with hardware cloth I come away with my hands looking like I'd been stacking bobcats.

Geez. That looks worse than when I sliced my hand on sheet metal

I've rubbed plenty of dirt on it so I'm sure it'll be fine in a few days.

Good thing you’re a grown ass man who knows how to take care of himself
