Rooster

Mom had said that unless the rooster's crowing wakes her up at night we can keep him. Well, in the past few days he has been cornering Angel and pecking and well, attacking her. A rooster should NOT act this way. When it happens Angel will screech out this awful noise and afterwords she keeps trembling till she falls completely asleep. Samson will be leaving, anyone want an abusive rooster, anyone?


I have some pictures of them on their coop at night.

I am so angry my rooster will not and I mean not go into the coop tonight. Usually when I mp in. But not tonight i actually went inside and back out and he was in the coop as I usually do I snuck up then ran to close but not now. As I ran he jumped out. I went in and told my mom then she said, "Blog about it then try again" that is what I am doing now. oh. How I could smash his head if I had half a brain.

Update

...so I admit: Delila's new name is Samson. He struts around the yard with an air of importance, like he knows hes being written about on the web. His attempts at crowing are so cute and I'll be sad to see him leave our home. My #1 fan Shaman has been sending in chicken and duck jokes. They are sooooooo funny. Thanks Shaman. Here's a duck joke from moi.

Q. What's the difference between George Washington and a duck?
A. A duck has a bill on his face, but George Washington has his face on a bill! fa.

Poll Results

The controversial debate on whether or not Delila is a rooster has been a big thing in our house. I think that even though 97% of you think she is a rooster, I beg to differ. I mean, What do you really know about chickens anyway? Huh? But I owe respect to you all so I guess it's a possibility. I must respect my own wishes to though, so I'm just waiting for a cock-a-doodle-doo, Or most likely a farm fresh egg laid by Delila.

Is Delila a Hen or a Rooster?

Here's a new picture of the chickens. Mom thinks Delila (the white one) is a rooster. What do you think? Vote in my poll!!!

Update

My chickens are growing so fast. I think Delila is a meat chicken, mom thinks Delila is a Samson. Tip of the day, Retrievers+Chickens=trouble. My sweet lab tried to bite of Telula's head. Our Shih Tzu plays with them and chases them though. Our coop is very small so our chickens roam around during the day.They always huddle together bye the coop around 10 p.m. and that's my sign to put them away. Delila has a huge red comb and she is very fast. The others have small combs and generally are easy to catch. I think they are being very good exterminators. And they hide their poop which I very much appreciate.

Chicken Coop

This is the Mother Hen (aka, Chicken Girl's mom) checking in to add a coop picture. I'm sure Chicken Girl will add an update to go with it soon!
