	Online Chicken Diary Breac's journal about life in and out of her coop. Starring Chickens, turkeys, and the occasional goose.

	Poor Milt
	Poor Milt


Well, we went out after college was done, and as we drove up, I initially thought that the chickens were still in the run since I didn't see anyone out. Then a lone butter baby appeared and then the whole flock. I felt sorry because I didn't bring any treats out. The de-worming got done a few days ago. I bet the chickens feel much better now. Anyway, Marcie was the first to come up, and we snuggled for a little bit before I let Mr. Burby out. The last time I went out, I stuck Powderpuff in with him so he'd have company and she could brood. But when I let him out, she was eager to leave. You'd think Powder'd like a nice quiet place to sit, but I guess not. Earl and Wilbur were sitting too. I don't understand why they decide to sit right before winter. If I let them hatch babies, they'd become chick-sicles. As I was walking down to get water, I saw Jenny sitting under the tree. So I made a detour and went to see the turkeys first. I though Jenny might be laying her last egg of the season. For a while I thought the turks had stopped laying, but the day before I found an egg in their pen. As I pet her, she made a "whirr" noise. I would have stayed longer, but I started to hear a chicken crying out in fear. It was Milt. He has a very distinctive voice. I ran out of the Turkey pen and ran over to the chicken coop. I looked inside and Milt was nowhere to be found. When I finally looked under the pen I saw him. I tried getting him out with a broom, but he just went further under there. So I decided to just wait for him to come out on his own. Mattie thought she found a mouse, and I ended up moving some stuff around so she could search. She went right to the last place she found a mouse, but there was nothing there. She also seemed pretty intent on the floor near the small door. However, we found nothing. If there was a mouse, it's hopefully gone by now. Marcie, Stella, Burby and snuggled for a while. When it was time to go, Milt still hadn't come out, so I asked Tom to keep an eye out for him. It also turns out Dad looked under Jenny and found thirteen eggs. Breac · Wed Sep 17, 2008 @ 04:24am · 0 Comments
