Just plain naughty!

Well it’s been about a week since I posted something bad about our dogs so I’m due right? 

What happened this week was that our little chicks are getting bigger and bigger as the days go by and they are drinking more water each day. Now the water that they drink out of is a mason jar tipped with one of those adapters on it. The water is stored in the mason jar until the bottom reservoir is getting empty and then it fills it back up again. Yup, pretty slick. 

But as the chickens get bigger, you’ll run out of water pretty fast and unless you want to be on ‘Water Guard’ all day, you want to go to the next step up in the water world and buy a bigger container. 

And that’s where the naughty dogs come in. 

Daryl came home from work and I didn’t think much about it. He was busy doing stuff outside. Pretty normal evening for us on the farm. But then while I was in the kitchen he came in and set a chicken waterer on the table and just shook his head. Now I wasn’t sure what was going on, but seriously it didn’t take a rocket scientist for me to figure out that something went wrong. 

What the problem was that he just bought the new waterer that night on the way home from work and set it down on the water pump in the yard and then he went into the barn. And the dogs must have been watching him from the house and just hoping that he was going to leave it set out. Because when he came out of the barn he said Kaiser had the piece taken apart and was running through the yard with just the water part. If you can imagine what that looked like, you can then almost see that this probably isn’t going to hold water anymore with all the teeth holes poked into the plastic. 

So Kyle and I was looking to see if it was junk or not and we decided to get out the duck tape. I have a friend that would put duck tape on some of the craziest things so why not try it on this? Seriously we weren’t out anything if it didn’t work. I mean now it was looking like a water can that was tipped when we first put water in it. Just spewing water from all sides of the container. 

Now the whole duck tape thing isn’t the best idea but it’s also not the worst idea. It’s holding water for now, but I’m thinking that we’ll probably need to see what else we can find for the little chicks. 

Those naughty dogs! Good thing they’re cute.
