This my friends is what mad looks like! When you set yourself up as the chicken messiah and things go awry you are doomed! I've been multitasking all day and noticed there were only a couple of hens within my view and thought I better check on them. Marjorie, Sylvia, Virginia and Dorothy ran up the hill to greet me and Marjorie was mad as a hatter! I reach down to pet them and she pecks me!!! I say REALLY Marjorie! I pick her to let her know who's boss and she madly cackles in my ear, I put her down and she runs to the (CLOSED) coop door!
Truth is, it's been a little windy today and the stick bracing the door open fell and the door slammed shut with poor Lucy trapped inside. Sadly Lucy is at the bottom of the pecking order and does not get first pick of the nesting boxes according to Marjorie! Lucy was the only one with full access to all boxes and Marjorie had a couple of eggs in the exit ramp!!!
After intense negotiations, deliberations were handed down: Virginia would get the upper right box where she would make two nests, Dorothy would get the lower left and Marjorie, the coveted straw stack by the door where she would continue her rant! Soon I will check the mood and egg count.....
