The good news is the chickens are all laying their eggs green ,white and brown. The children are having fun collecting them each morning and seeing what
colors will be there.
Now for the bad news....as soon as they started laying my Rooster became aggressive. All the chickens were out on the lawn and Sonny started too crawl towards the hens he didn't get very far when the rooster charged and jumped on his face. I ran over and grabbed Sonny and then the Rooster started to charge me.
When Jake got home from work I told him the story (for those that know Jake, know that he is very protective of his children). He told me he was going to blow his head off. He got out the shotgun and Uncle Tyler and mom did the rest. I wasn't going near that thing and didn't really like the whole experience.
Needless to say the next night we had chicken for dinner.
Poor rooster.....I guess you just don't mess with our baby!!

This was such a delightful story - oh my! Insane. I love that your guys get to gather eggs every morning. Your header with their jeans and toesies is so sweet - I may have to copy that!!!
Firstly it was not a shotgun. It was a .22 Ruger. I hit the rooster right in the head and he died immediately. He did flop around for about 30 seconds and everyone was screaming that he was suffering. But I think the flopping around is normal. Tyler beat him down with a baseball bat just to make sure though.
