Adventures in chicken ownership

Cleaning a chicken was really not on my list of things to do today. However the family dog had other plans for me. Usualy I put the chickens to bed everynight and to do so you have to enter the coop and shut the pen door from inside. I have been thinking I need to put a latch on the outside door from inside for a while now but I just haven't got around to it. Well guess thats about to change as I had to stand in the rain with a flashlight plucking one of my lovely hens. Oooooh no he couldn't get the rooster that I already wanted to cull. He had to take out one of my big ol plump hens. I guess I get a chicken dinner out of it so I can't complain to much!
