Rambo's Escape and Capture

I came home from getting my kids to school, to the doctor, back to school, etc and headed out to feed the chickens. That's when I see Rambo hanging out around the chicken coop. Now I was on the phone with my mother and told her I had to get because HEY! Rambo attacks.


So I'm walking slowly to the chicken coop and Rambo is keeping a keen eye on me. We're just a couple feet apart and he starts warning me that I'm too close. I grab the fish net behind me, get into position, and with one fell swoop, I had Rambo in a net.


Now I know some of you are laughing at me thinking, "It's just a chicken." No. Rambo is Not "just a chicken." He's a Rooster. He's a MEAN and NASTY rooster. He has spurs on both feet that are 1 1/2 inches long. He's named Rambo for a reason. And he has his own chicken coop because Rambo does not play well with others.


I would like to eat Rambo. But Princess just cries at the thought, "Mommy! Don't kill Rambo! Don't kill Rambo! I LOOOOOOOOOOVE Rambo!"


Really. Huh.


Go hang out in his coop with him for a few minutes and let me know how much you looooooooove him after THAT! No way. No how. She's going in there. Even Bear's got issues with Rambo. and yet, somehow, Rambo lives.


In fact, Rambo is living the high life. He has a coop all to himself. It's a waste of space because I could have 8 birds in there, but again, Rambo does not play well with others.


Anyway, I found the hole in the coop and decided to fix it because I can't leave Rambo in the chicken net forever. I get my staple gun and staples and chicken wire. Can't find the long extension chord. So it's off to the local hardware store. While I was there, I bought myself one of "dem dar fancy wire cudders that's a spring loaded 'n all so my hand don't git fatigued n worn out" just because I wanted one.


I had a Milky Way Dark for lunch while I was there (girl's gotta keep her strength up).


Trouble is, I'm all tuckered out 'n' ready for a nap. Poor Rambo.
