My dogs can still get through the chicken coop door. It is only 12 X 12. They have a hard time squeezing through but they can do it.
I put my roo back outside this morning. He is doing much better. Still a little congestion but much improved. I was tired of the 5:30 crowing in the house. Now I have a huge mess to clean up. How far can one rooster throw straw and chicken feed outside a dog kennel?
It's amazing.
I've got to get off my lazy butt and get busy today. I am so far behind. I've spent too much time doing nothing and feeling sorry for myself lately. No Christmas decorations up, the house is filthy and I'm not taking care of normal business. I need to run some eggs to town and pay my car insurance, then go meet a neighbor and figure out how to take care of his place and his animals while he is gone for 10 days. He is the one that fed my birds while I was in the hospital.
I got a call last night from a stranger. She knows a person, who knows another, person, who knows a person who is married to a guy Dennis sees at work. Through that string of people they heard I had baby chicks. She said they had checked every where and no one had chicks this time of year. She is wanting to get about 4 of them for a gift for her son for Christmas. Obviously not chicken people but at least it will be a few less mouths to feed around here. They want layers so Seramas are out. That's a shame. I have so many of them.
