The missing hen came out from under the building. She was hot and thirsty, hanging around her coop, trying to get back in. It was Rose, a hen that was injured as a baby chick, our oldest grand daughter held her all weekend, and she survived. So I got the fish net, captured Rose and looked her over for injuries. She was ok! I opened up the door to her coop, only to be met by Alfred the rooster. He attacked her in my hands. I was stunned. Alfred is a laid back boy, never gives me any trouble. But Alfred was not having Rose back. You stupid rooster! It hasn't even been 12 hours! So Rose is in a small coop by herself for now.

Trip thought little lambs were playthings. The boing boing boing of them jumping and playing brought out the chase instinct in him. I caught him gnawing on a lamb's head and like to beat him to death with a plastic coffee can. :lol::lol::lol: I sure was mad! He turned out to be a great dog. Now I gotta work on Beaux.

Poor Rose! Maybe she can be reintegrated into her coop??

I will never understand the inner workings of a rooster's brain. :he

I wanted to like your post, Bay but it was more consolation for your troubles with the dog and the losses. Hard to put a like when someone's having troubles. I hope your pup learns not so much the hard way. It's hard enough training domestic pets. I can't imagine training a working dog. If I ever get the small farm I want, I would like a couple LGD's

I still plan on having a small portable coop and fenced in run for a few layers built yet this Fall, but not going after the chicks or birds until next Spring. With the few I plan to have, if I was to lose a few random birds, I would be wiped out, and said critter better watch out because I am coming and Hades is following.
