Meet Leonidas:
We have reason to believe that Leonidas murdered Bully a few weeks ago, thus slashing our chicken count from 7 to 6.
Now, meet Crow. Crow is apparently terrified of Leonidas. After 'the incident' Crow stopped sleeping in the coop. All the chickens would go to bed and shortly after dark, Crow would mosey right on back up to the house and find a spot to nest in our carport! We found him a few nights in a row! The picture below was by far the funniest! Powers walked outside, started dying laughing and called for me to come look. This is Powers's smoker. Crow was DEAD asleep on top of the smoke stack!
A few nights later Powers saw Crow coming back towards the house to go to sleep so Powers went out to cut him off and send him back to the coop. Crow dodged and weaved and Powers said he was practically running football plays in the yard trying to keep Crow from coming to the house! Eventually Powers headed him off and sent him on his way to sleep with the other chicks. Poor thing has a spot way above where the other ones sleep so he can be alone and safe :(
Other news, here is our new chicken coop! It's ENORMOUS!!! It also was free, though, so I LOVE IT!
It is sitting in our yard trying to figure out how it is going to move it's heavy self to where it belongs! Good luck, hubbers!
Lastly, we officially have a rooster! (That apparently won't shut up!) Powers and I were brushing our teeth yesterday and heard this LOUD 'cockadoodledooooooooo!' Then we heard it over, and over, and over, and over again! Yup. Dinner is served!
I don't have one single picture of our rooster (cheetah). I'll get a video so you can share our pain!
I think that's all in chicken world! :)
Huh... you had me believing that Crow and Leonidas were roosters with all the "him"s :)
