Chicken Rodeo

My tip today is a silly but important one.  Boy Deere loves the outside and loves the chickens.  We went out to play and Boy Deere was playing with the doors on the chicken coup and being his cute darling two year old self.  We went in and I thought nothing more of it.  Well until 11:00 that night.  Boy Deere shut their chickens out of the coup.  Our girls are free range so have to be inside the coup at night since there is no chicken yard. 

The girls were roosting on an old lawnmower and some hay bale rings.  We had to track and hunt down all 24 girls in the dark.  Why didn’t you use a flashlight so there would be light?  This is what you are saying right?  Well I learned that, yes, I could catch them easier, but the girls kept running out of the coup to follow the light.  I had to put them all back in again.   I was out in the cold, in my pajamas participating in a chicken rodeo.  Chickens who don’t want to be put to bed rival Boy Deere in their ability to escape.  I believe he has been giving lessons to the girls on how to avoid bedtime.  All of this because I forgot to check the chicken coup door.  Always check to make sure the door to your chicken abode is open or closed at appropriate times.
