Farm Life

As you know we have a bunch of chickens and a rooster.  We are due to get more soon...anyway....With spring trying to come...we have opened up their coop so they can "roam free".Well our rooster has turned out to be a MEAN one....he has attacked all of us...except Clara...thank goodness-cause she wouldn't stand a chance with him.  It was getting to the point that the kids didn't even want to play outside..after the last "attack" Derrick was ready to kill the rooster...and kept asking Tom to do so. 

Well Sunday afternoon was time...I told Tom I didn't really want to have to help him - but if he needed me to "buck up" and be his "chicken farmer wife" I would....he said I could keep Clara and the dog in the house...and I said a quick OK!!  Then he took the older 3 kids out with him and killed the rooster and another chicken(who wasn't laying)..the kids were a bit in awe and felt sick the rest of the day....

Now if you ask Derrick where the rooster lives...he says with a smile "In the Fridge"  -so funny....though now when we eat chicken ...he just stares at his plate (as do the other kids--even myself for a bit!)

*There are no pictures for this post....I figured you'd understand...cause really.....there should be no need for explaination!
