It must have been an epic battle

But the chicken troops evidently didn't muster enough man power, err hen power, to put up much of a fight. Especially for fighting a turncoat.

The dog had a 6 course chicken dinner this afternoon while we were at Costco. Yep, the same dog who snuggled up next to the brooder and looked like he wanted to protect our chicks. 'Twas all an act.

Evidently he just wanted to make sure they were big enough to eat. No sense in chewing through all of those feathers for a chicken nugget, right?

So we are out of the chicken business for a while.



For the record: Burial with full chicken honors, took place immediately following the battle, in the dumpster behind the convenience store up the street.
