Cold is on the Right, Hot is on The Left
lorihadams, thank you!
Funny story today regarding Elizabeth and Monroe and Jett....Monroe was feeling down that he wasn't out running around, so I checked his comb, and it was looking a bit better. So I let him out of the brooder and he beat a path for the yard. I know he was looking for Elizabeth, because he didn't go into an uproar until she had left the coop.
So I'm cleaning out the other coop and the nesting boxes and I hear this chicken screaming and ranting and being what sounded like a total tattle tale! I stepped out of the coop and look around. There's Monroe, on the backside of the duck shed looking towards the duck pen screaming as loudly as he could! If chickens cuss, that is what he was doing!
So I figured Elizabeth must be in the duck shed! I open the gate to the duck pen, walk into the shed...and sure enough there's HRH with Jett! By this point, Monroe is just down right irrate! So I shoo the two conspirators out of the pen and shut the gate behind me. No sooner does Monroe see that Elizabeth is in the yard with Jett hot on her heels, he shoots after Jett like a rocket! Next thing I know he's got one of Jett's tail feathers in his beak and Jett's in a tree screaming indignantly!
Monroe met up with Elizabeth and gave her what for! I had never seen him stand up to her before, but my goodness he was ticked!! Elizabeth tossed her head in a "whatever" attitude and went on about her business!
