I'm thinking of offering to "buy" that rooster. Or to replace him. Which made me giggle. I could say, "bring me that rooster's head on a platter!" and feel like a fairy tale queen. Though, the "head on a platter" queens never turn out to be nice people. <BR/><BR/>But seriously, I think I'll offer to replace that rooster. It is starting to sound more and more like he should not be around children.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003203477064185275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148717864140954209.post-91985229386934821712008-09-08T23:28:00.000-04:002008-09-08T23:28:00.000-04:00My fil used to be a building inspector.

A chicken drew blood.<BR/><BR/>I still remember that rooster chasing my terrified little brother from the chicken coop all the way to the house. <BR/><BR/>Birds can be scary. love, VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148717864140954209.post-55078636350235308632008-09-08T17:42:00.000-04:002008-09-08T17:42:00.000-04:00You know, I was terrified for you while reading yo...You know, I was terrified for you while reading your story. Because I'm unreasonably afraid of chickens. (And kept a chicken when I am afraid of them.) Cows, even bulls, I have no fear of. I view cows as big and dumb, even though I know that can't be entirely true. Cute maybe, but not bright. But chickens? Feathered Bringers of Death, with sharp claws, spurs, and pointy beaks with which to stab out your eyes. Except our Spot, of course.<BR/><BR/>Glad you survived with only chicken scratches (HA! I kill me!), and outsmarted the sneaky naughty goats.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463371508970237621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148717864140954209.post-92035183845102974602008-09-08T17:15:00.000-04:002008-09-08T17:15:00.000-04:00You know, I wasn't scared.

But the rooster just pissed me off.<BR/><BR/>The most valid worry of all, though, is this rooster around the children. That does concern me.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003203477064185275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148717864140954209.post-7589532390432053452008-09-08T15:51:00.000-04:002008-09-08T15:51:00.000-04:00It sounds like you're having a bit of a crash cour...It sounds like you're having a bit of a crash course in farm life. Good for you! But do watch out for those pesky fowl.

No flying monsters when I open the coop door. <BR/><BR/>Goats can actually eat a surprisingly large amount of grain before they bloat - but it's a good idea to keep a bottle of mineral oil around just in case. You can drench them if you suspect they've eaten too much and it sort of passes the food through without digestion. A drench gun is good too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
