Well after slaving away at the old salt mine yesterday I raced home and got Addie off the bus from school. We then took off to Parkhill Co-op with Bear (our Golden Doodle) in the back of the truck, and got our 12 laying hens. Had a great trip there with Addie - told her that she had to hold all 12 hens all the way home and not to let them poop in my truck. LOL Sure had her thinking!
Well we got them back safe and sound and got them into there new home. As I was taking them out of the crate they came in they got a little nervous with me in the coop. All it took was one to start flying around the coop and then they all were. Addie was holding the door closed and as soon as one of the hens hit the door she was gone like a scared cat! LOL 3 got out and Carlos (our rooster) who was out of his coop at the time instantly jumped on one of the hens. Addie screamed out "Daddy I think Carlos is trying to kill the chicken - He's on top of her and she is squawking" LOL I raced over and nocked Carlos off of her before he could do any damage. LOL Put Carlos in a empty horse stall and then proceeded to catch the 3 hens and get them back in the coop. Talk about a hectic few minutes.

Leanne's Uncle Doug brought his Quarter horse over to spend a few days here and see how he likes it. So we now have a beautiful horse using the stalls. Never thought it would feel so good to see a horse in the barn.
