Things you don't want to find in your chicken run

I went to feed the chickens yesterday evening and look what I found:

Roopert, the rooster, wasn't quite sure what to do about it, so he just stood guard:

Sarah was kind enough to use the small chicken-sized doors to get in and out and even managed not to tear the protective netting lightly strung across the top:

Silly donkeys!

  1. How did she get in there!?

    Maybe she was looking for refuge from the guy donkeys' kicking and fighting and decided to go hang out with Roopert.

  2. It looks like Sarah was having a nice time in the chicken yard, and was careful not to fowl up the netting. Smart donkey. :)

  3. That totally cracked me up! I am still chuckling. Good boy, Roopert! Guard that coop.

    I am glad to see things are pretty much back to "normal" on Critter Farm. Good to hear that your Mom is doing well today. She was definitely in my thoughts last night.

  4. That is so funny. (or not?) But the photos are cute. One thing I should mention: my parents had erected a similar protective netting over their coop many years ago, until it snowed. Much to their surprise, the snow accumulated on top and collapsed the whole thing. I guess they figured the snow would fall through. Just a little warning for you.

  6. OMGoodness!! The very first thing I thought was, "Oh no, Danni's chicken run is toast!" Hooray for Sarah for being so ladylike.
    You know you now have a problem. She'll tell her friends about how yummy the chicken food is.

  7. Oh my goodness. I'm so glad it was a donkey and not some unwelcome visitor. I was worried at first. LOL

  8. How nice of her to not tear the netting! I think this is definitely NOT something you want to find in your chicken run. How funny! Roopert must have been so confused.
