Catching Chickens



Because Martha’s chickens hatched a new batch of chickens, there were too many in the backyard to feed. So she gave some to Paul, Nick, and the neighbor. Tonight Corey and I waited until sundown and caught 5 chickens for Paul. Corey was the one who grabbed the chickens from the chicken coop. I held the door shut as Corey ran in to the unlighted chicken coop and came out with two chickens upside down in his hands at a time. Corey is definitely pro at chicken catching :) We put all 5 into the dog crate that Paul sent home with Corey and Paul picked them up the next day. 

The unfortunate thing about this is the fact that 4 of the 5 chickens that we caught for Paul ended up being roosters... haha. It was practically impossible to tell which were hens and which were roosters when they were young, but once they started roosting and competing with one another, it was very apparent.. oops..
