Saga of the Coop

Well, no blogs lately as there has been no change - no eggs, still LOVE treats, and scratching up the yard like crazy. 

Then today, we got a little action.  Not good action, but action.  I have been doing some yard work building a stacked stone retaining wall.  As I was driving rocks into the yard, my little dog Cy (aka chicken killer) ran into the yard.  Now lately he has not bothered them, just sniffed around.  I guess he was in need to today as he started chasing Popcorn around.  The more Popcorn ran, the more he chased.  He would stop when I yelled, but then see the chicken run and go again.  He got a mouth full of tail feather when I caught up with him.  I gave is a firm had and put him out.  Then went to find Popcorn. No where to be found. 

That whole time, the gate was open and Popcorn was out of there!  I searched high and low for thirty minutes and found her right by the yard hiding.  She was so nervous, but seemed physically ok.  She walked into the yard.  I did pick her up to check her out. 

So, I have determined that I will NEVER have eggs and that this is turning into a saga versus a chicken farm. 

Still hoping for eggs and now hoping to just keep the Ladies alive!

Your Chicken Farmer,
