also out of 4 easter eggers i got one red star and 2 roosters. and the remaining hen looks a little like a mutt. i may let them have a clutch, but there are a couple chicken dinners in the offing. one rooster is one thing, but 3 roosters and 9 hens? trouble. got enough of that crop already.

and the chicken master is my spray bottle that sends them where i want them to go. gonna try and send them over to the farm. i think i can get them there, and back seems pretty easy. they know dinner is waiting. today the older batch was waiting on the stairs to go back in.

if my "coop" doesn't arrive tomorrow, i am going to ride my bobcat over to tow it home. lots of work to be done before it is ready for chickens, tho.
so much to do.

fantastic rewards tho, as you say. oh the tomatoes! and the sweetest onions. cucumbers that actually have flavor.
i am a lucky stiff. very very lucky.
