news at 9:30 (cause i don't normally stay up to 11- but then i get up at 12 and can't sleep until 3:30am)
the new chicks are grown now
i think the pullets will be laying in about a month
the roos were to have been processed two weeks ago
they got out of the brooder
now
they are running amuck....literally.............( and i could sure pun like crazy with this one)
we got chickens all over the basement right now
that's a LODDA poop to pick up
later today
i am going to bring in the saw horses and construct a large makeshift pen
i was assured that they will be processed this coming week
the pullets will then go into the layer pens
in the meantime
chickens are on the stairs
on the ground
on the layer pens
and on my mind
the chickens, when interviewed said
buwk buwk buwk
allow me to translate..................
we really LIKE running amuck
we like walking up and down the stairs
we'd tried to come into the main house.....
but were thwarted by dad....who had the nerve to shut the door in our faces
!!!!!
we like to watch mom wash clothes
we like to watch mom open the freezers
we like to watch mom fill our food pans and water buckets and do the ducks water buckets and food pans
and we LOVE to poop on the layers HEADS
cause they are BIG chickens and peck at us when we jump into their spaces
you have got to understand chickenese............
now since i do understand chickenese........
i realized
i spend WAY too much time talking to the animals...........
that and stoking the wood stove
no?
Miss you, Vi. Glad to hear that spring is finally popping it's head near you.
