RIP
our oldest chicken ms roundrock (click here to read her story) and
her protector red the rooster was attacked this weekend by a
marauder and both were killed
we think that it was a possum as we found one in the coop the next
night and was able to chase him around until he escaped back
through the hidden hole where he had snuck into the coop
(the hole was repaired)
a88 hole i tried to catch him and get revenge on him but i couldnt
catch him
wanted to chop off his head
ms roundrock and red the rooster both had started to sleep on
the ground since she had gotten too old to climb up to the
roosting area
red had damaged his foot and couldnt climb
up there either
they would sleep together snuggled up on the floor of the coop
red was always taking care of his girls
he made sure they knew where the bugs were and where the feed
was
he would come to their aid if they were threatened
he was the gentlest rooster ive ever seen
am sure he tried to protect ms roundrock from that attacker
but lost his life in the battle
rip ms roundrock and red
the life cycle goes on
the hard part of having backyard chickens
FB
longhorns couldnt pull that game out at the end
they just need to pick a qb and stick with him and
go through the season and quit jerking both of them
around
one bright spot is the fact that most of their players will
be returning next year and that season should be better
the horns and aggies play the last time on thanksgiving day
thats like ucla not playing usc
alabama not playing auburn
michigan not playing ohio state
sad to see that rivalry go away
no more aggie jokes
the hogs pulled it off saturday so now with everyone else loosing
they have a chance to be 1 or 2 if they beat lsu this week
come on hogs get those tigers
sad to hear about their tight end
he was found dead in his room
know it will be hard for them this week
what a tragedy
boys lucked out and beat those redskins
wide right again for the skins kicker
maybe the boys will continue on and make the playoffs
will watch them on turkey day
come on boys
ARTICLE
was called and told the article would be published last saturday
it wasnt
will post it on my blog whenever it is published
the good thing about the article is that it puts alzheimers disease out
there for people to talk about
and shows early diagnosis is important and
talks about research
this is beyond my control

RIP Ms Round Rock. I just lost both of my Silver Laced girls to a possum. I spent a whole day fixing up the coop for those girls. Dang possums!
ReplyDeleteI just read the Statesman article. Thanks for doing it. My only advice is to put all your assets in your wifes name and to make her medical and durable power of attorney. Stay strong!

RIP beautiful birds. We live with the new life of chicks and the loss of beloved hens here on our farm. Two weeks ago, our beautiful Star was destroyed by an owl. 5 days ago, our adorable little Junior hen, was attacked by a hawk. She's still alive and we're working so hard at helping her to recover, but these birds are so fragile. We love our chickens and feel terrible about what happened to your babies.
