Jim Bob, our rooster! |
Oh, how Momma goofed! I forgot to lock my rooster and hens into their chicken coop last night and about 2:30 a.m. I woke up out of a dead sleep to the sound of my chickens screaming with fear! Oh what a horrid noise they can make! I jumped out of bed, ran down the stairs, made my way to the back porch, flipped the light on and started making noises with a coupe things I found on the porch. I did not see a predator but there were feathers everywhere. I ran back up to my bedroom and grabbed my cell phone so I could use the flashlight option on it. Then went out to the chicken coop and started picking up hens and putting them in their house. It was slow going to say the least. My daughter heard all the noise and looked out her bedroom window and saw nothing but a shadow behind a tree by the fenced chicken area. Freaked her out! She watched for a couple of minutes and then realized it was me! She yelled down to me to see what was going on so I told her and she willingly got out of bed on a school night to help me gather the chickens and lock them in the coop. At first she thought I had flipped a lid....2:30 in the morning and her mom is running around the chicken yard! :) I couldn't sleep and felt like playing with the chickens in the middle of the night! LOL ROFLMAO!!! NOT!!! So we were both outside under the clear sky with the stars above laughing at us! lol It took us about 30 minutes but we caught them all and put them to bed. We must have been a funny sight! No chickens were hurt, just some lost feathers. After chasing chickens, I was wide awake!!! Took me forever to get back to sleep. Today I kinda feel like a walking zombie! :)
