Afraid of a Chicken!

Vince is afraid of a chicken! 🙂

I’ve been walking around for two days singing Vince is afraid of a chicken! We saw Cat and I said “Vince is afraid of a chicken!” Vince said “I’m going to show you who’s afraid!”  🙂

We have four hens in one coop and 1 hen in the second coop that are trying to hatch babies. No more chickens! We’re getting 2 dozen eggs per day. The last thing we need is more chickens.

Vince was out by the coop that has the 1 hen sitting and he was going to take care of those chickens.

Vince: There’s one hen sitting and I can’t get the eggs.
Me: She’s been doing that for a week. Just make her get up or reach under here and get them.
Vince: (Went back to the coop!) I still can’t get them.
Me: Why?
Vince: She won’t get up and she tries to bite me when I try to reach under her.

Good grief . . I went out there and reached under her and got the eggs.

Vince: How did you do that?
Me: I just reached under her and got them.
Vince: Didn’t she try to bite you?
Me: Yep, but they rarely draw blood and it doesn’t hurt long. It’s get bit or have more chickens. Do you want more chickens?
Vince: I don’t care!

Wait . . he’s been the one squawking about having too many chickens, spending too much on chicken feed and now, because he’s afraid of getting bit by a hen, he’s going to let her hatch babies. I said “If she gets to hatch babies, the four hens in the other coop do too. What’s fair for one is fair for all!”

I could see the wheels turning. Five chickens hatching at least six eggs each . . that’s 30 more chickens in 21 days. He said “Thank you!”

I guess I won’t be going to Missouri and leaving him on chicken duty til the broody hens get over it.
