I finally found out what that means, at least as far as my chickens are concerned. I was in my office the other day, and suddenly heard just an awful commotion from the chickens – much more than usual. I looked out and could see them running all around while screeching at the top of their lungs. I went out on the deck to see what was happening, and a hawk was flying away. The chickens had finally all run into the coop, and they didn’t come out again for quite awhile. The coop is fully covered, so no one got hurt, except for the hawk getting embarrassed.

We occasionally let the chickens out to free-range. When we got back from Iowa last time, we let them out, but I mis-counted, and one of the chickens got left outside the coop. She decided she didn’t want to go back in, and stayed out for 12 nights. We’re surprised nothing got her, but last night Gail was able to coax her back into the coop. We both feel much better with her being in the coop when we’re out of town. I finally “butchered one of our roosters. I sure hope practice makes perfect, because it sure wasn’t a quality job. I’ll practice on the other rooster when we get back.
