Frederick's Chicken Report

I hope you all had a nice weekend. We had a great one visiting with family and seeing some of the grand kids. Usually I am a bit nervous when the Mr. and I are both gone over the weekend as many times we have come home to sad stories from the coop. This time we decided to leave Frederick the cat in charge of the flock and the new, young rooster. Many of you expressed interest in how that might turn out (me included) so, let's go find Frederick and see. - There he is in the library.

Frederick's report: "Well, to make a long story short....It was gruelling...First, right off of the bat, Friday morning that nasty Falcon got on the run fence and started going after the chickens causing all kinds of feathers and noise..so, being the good sitter that I am, I quickly climb the fence and go into action at lightening speed, coming mere inches from the offending bird, it flies off and all of a sudden, I become the villain with the rooster chasing me right back over the fence!...Then Saturday, I hear several chickens making noise from the coop and go to investigate, with such a raucous, I'm sure that harm has come to them.. I get there in the nick of time as I find two of them trapped in small boxes fearing for their lives, I jump on the ledge to find out what could be after them and.....once again...I am the villain...they come after me and peck me on the head! Certain that they drew blood I ran for cover through my door in the house and to the safety of Library."




"The remainder of the weekend was more of the same! Now can I have my payment that you promised?"



Let's ask the girls their side of the story..."Hello girls, how was your weekend?"

"Brilliant idea mom, to leave the crazy cat in charge...He tried to kill us all weekend, you might as well have hired the coyote!"



"Alright Frederick...the girls confirmed your story...kind of, so here is your payment."

Lip smacking good, thanks mom!

Even though there seems to have been a huge communication gap, it all turned out in the end.
