[Sca-cooks] What got into the chickens?

[Saint Phlip]

And whatever dirt the girls kick into their nest boxes. I try to keep
plenty of clean straw or hay down, but rainy days (which we haven't
had for a few weeks) mean they track mud in and all over the eggs by
the time I get to them.

After no eggs yesterday, btw, they gave me 5 today- only one banty
egg, and 4 huge normal sized hen eggs.

And Tie- Dye, one of the banty roosters, escaped. He figured he wanted
to get into the duck feed, I think, and tried to pick a fight with
Red, a Rhode Island rooster about twice his size. He won, too- Red's a
wimp. Will bully you if you let him, but quits as soon as you fight
back. Caught him, and everyone's happy with their feed and water.
Except Tie- Dye- he missed out on all the dog food when he was out
adventuring.

They're a lot of fun ;-)

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
