chickens

Boy, the weather has changed to being real humid, . last night i an attack came apone my new chickens, i know the yell, i ran out there and had to kick a stray cat out of the pen, . i think i ma going to put up these christmas light in the pen so the chicken can at least see the critters if they attack, it might work as a deturant. i made a small 10x10 pen for them , two hens two roosters.

It Reminded me when i had those other birds,(97) i had four cochins roosters, (worst impluse buy ever) but they were fun, for nearly a year i kept this routine , were , everynight i would get up at the sound of the first crow, I knew there crows, and i would run out there grab one off the fence and put him in a box to buffel his blast, well i didn't realise that when you put a rooster in a box they get real mad, they hate it. after i collected each one and put them in the box at nigh they would still crow, just not so loud.
but the problem came when i kicked over the boxs in the morning and let them lose, it was like an outta control gang bar brawl in the morning and they would chase each other around and it would spill over into other peoples yards, it was funny to watch but , i started gettin nervious they would take there unrulely behavior out to the street.
One time when they went into someones yard , its like 7:30 in the morning i started to chase them this one bird "little boy" was runnin all over and i had this stick to sorta guild him back in the direstion of the yard, but he made a break in the opisite direction, so i threw the stick , right before him to reverse his direction, but ended up clockin him in the back of the head, and he fell over, i thought
" oh my God i killed little boy! " i was very upset and then i ran over to him and lifted him up and saw his little cute head dangling , i broke his neck, , so i took him back in ght morning and set him in a box to watch him he seem to be altight but very diorinated, sorta like he was blind , i must have just given him a chicken concusion, .
I had to keep him in the room casue one thing i noticed was that as soon as i dropped him down with the other birds they sinced he was wounded and started whopping his ass, so i had to keep him in my room for a while.
but if i would be damn that even with brain damage the bastard would crow. late at night in my room,
backkahaaah! bachaaaa!
i would wake up and right aside my bed put my hand on his little body, to let him know to stop
after a while he would go off again!, nothing effected these birds
one thing i concluded was that you will never condition a chicken not to crow no matter what.
