The creepy meats are continuing their daily assault on my every time I go in the pen to feed them. Never mind that I've not once fed them outside of the pen, but I'm convinced they just want to make a rush at me to knock me down and eat my eyeballs. During their delirious feeding frenzy, one or two of them will make it out the door and get chased around the yard by the older laying hens. Last night I wasn't able to catch the escapees so I let the stupid buggers sit under the barn for the entire night. I really didn't want to because the loss of two birds means the loss of two wonderful, succulent, crispy skinned chicken suppers, but I also really didn't want to shimmy my fatass underneath the barn where it was muddy and mucky from the torrential downpour we received earlier in the day. Luckily, they survived the night and I scooted them into the pen again (while every other chicken wanted out).
Herman is also upset that he's on the other side of the fence.

| Nettie teasing Herman.....what a hussy. |
So the ladies will just have to wait it out for another month and Herman will just have to be satisfied with sniffing and snorting and tongue-flapping and pissing on himself (ick, ick and quadruple-ick).
And I will have to continue pulling his stupid noggin out of the fence (no fewer than sixty-five times a day) and then go sandblast my hands in a feeble attempt to rid my flesh of the smell of buck piss.
Something tells me helping the bucks put on the condom maybe worse than the circumstances you describe. They might really like you when your done though.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to ask how the heck Herman keeps his head unstuck with those horns of his!! Gotta love his ardor though. He's a good lookin' boy who will most likely do the job for you. I mean your does.
ReplyDeleteThe smell of my buck is all the way to the house :/ It's grosser than normal this year, maybe because I have two ladies now????
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't sound pleasant! Another reason why I have never had goats......only I didn't realize breeding season was so disgusting. I would pass on the condoms (even if they had them).
ReplyDeleteEW! That sounds pretty gross, but hey it's nature...
ReplyDeleteDo your creepy meats free range at all and get outside? Kind of looks like a chicken want to get outside, little head outside :)
ReplyDeleteGosh Carolyn you have your hands full there! Oh so much to forward to when we get our animals.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that awful smell, I had to chuckle. Daughter smells of it today - cleaned his shed out.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the sand blasting of the hands. That smell last for-ev-er....
ReplyDeleteYour CMs look different than mine. Hmmm. Yours look more like chickens. Mine looked like...well, something that slightly resembled chickens but grosser. How long will Mr. Stinky be Mr. Stinky? Do you get an olfactory break?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange how different the meat chickens are from the egg layers? They are like totally different species. As for goats...I love the milk but am not delighted by much else (other than the fact that they're funny and the babies are adorable).
