Daryl said that he was going to pick up some chicken feed yesterday when he went to the farm store and when he came home I noticed a bunch of sacks in the back of the truck so I just figured that they were for our laying hens.
See normally we don’t feed our chickens ‘store food’ in the summer, but we decided to treat them with some this month.
Well tonight after work I went out to check on everybody and as I walked by the truck I was going to grab one of the sacks of chicken feed. I noticed that it wasn’t in there so my first thought is that Daryl put it in the brooder house. So off I go to the brooder house.
Okay it wasn’t in there either so I went back to the truck to see if I overlooked it. Now honestly there was only 2 bags of other feed in there and how I could think that I overlooked it – well it was a plan out of desperation.
And guess what? Yea, no chicken feed magically appeared since I just looked 2 minutes before that.
So I looked in the garage and then back to the brooder house I went again. I would have swore that there was some feed somewhere on this farm and I was going to find it!
I decided to wait until Daryl got home to ask him where it went and in the meantime I went to snap a few pictures of the chickens. They were all worked up by now because I was just in there twice looking for that feed and by this time they about had enough of me for the night.
So when I took this picture of this rooster – well it kind of says it all just how he was feeling with me hanging out in their brooder house tonight. Or maybe he just doesn’t like Daylight Savings time either! Yea, this is definitely a possibility why he’s looking pretty crabby. He also was trying to get around me when I was taking his picture and I kept stopping him from getting by me. Now maybe that could be the reason too!
But some of the chickens didn’t mind me being in there
And where was the chicken feed? Well Daryl didn’t have a chance to pick it up yesterday and was going to pick it up on Tuesday 🙂
