Hammy (The Attacking Rooster)

Well the inevitable has happened here at Lazy Danes, Chuck had to kill Hammy. He has been getting braver and braver as the ratio of testosterone to brain cells rose higher. He even came after me the other day as I was feeding. Madison was very sad, even though she was afraid to go out of the house. Willow was fine with it. She's been the most attacked. Me, well while I wasn't crazy about his antics, he was so pretty and had the best crow! That and I raised him in the house from a tiny fragile chick. But the last thing I need is for the girls to have friends over that get flogged by a senseless roo. So, it is done and the attacking rooster is no more- although Harry does seem intent on taking his place. Here we go again...

In other chicken news, we have a black giant that has gone AWOL. She didn't come in one night for dinner and had not shown up when I came out after dark to close the coop. She did turn up the next day but was again missing for dinner. She's either coming up now when the other black giant is not in sight or she hasn't been back. Maybe she'll turn up with a brood of her own but I'm less and less hopeful.
