Coopville Diaries - Part Two


As we left off last week there was a new Roo in town.

The girls were all a twitter over this fancy fellow.

This episode is brought to you by our sponser "The Crazy Chicken Lady"... we call her mama..:)


Well it seems that Millie and Rod have become a couple.


But there may be trouble in paradise.

He doesn't give her very much attention.....and she is not happy about it.


And he's always checking out the other girls....


And (gasp!) he was caught in the bushes with Lucy....


They keep getting caught sneaking around......


And to really make things interesting he has a stalker.....maybe 2....


Thank goodness Millie has her best friend  to talk to but Natasha has her own problems.

She is thinking seriously about having reconstructive surgery because she is obsessed with trying to look younger.


Please tune in next week for the next episode.

Will Rod leave Millie for Lucy?

Will Millie have a broken heart?

Will the stalker(s) make their move?

You will have to wait and see next time on.....

The New Roo



Meet the new Roo!

I had decided to name him Rod Stewart but the "girls" are calling him Mr. Fancy Pants so that may stick.

Speaking of the girls.....they are not happy.


Do you see those looks?

Not happy.


They refused to go inside the coop with the rooster.

I heard them say "Did you see his hair....who does he think he is?"

"He thinks he's all that."


He was not helping the situation by prancing around and fluffing his feathers.

So I'm trying to integrate them all and they refuse to go near him and then a thunderstorm comes in.

So I had to run out in the rain and catch him and bring him inside so the girls would go in the coop and get out of the bad weather.


Now what?


So now Rod  a/k/a Mr. Fancy Pants is shut up in the bathroom.....please don't let my husband come home.

So after the storm passes we try again.


Come on Tina.....the bad weather is over.  Big dog baby is terrified of bad weather.

She is not even my dog....she's my brother in laws' that lives next door.

Now....back to the chicken drama.


Do you see that black hair fluff.......that is a warning fluff.


This is not a happy dance....:(

I had a beautiful rooster before but I had to get rid of him because he was huge and he didn't mean to but he was hurting the girls.


They had no feathers on their backs and one or two of them were limping.

I think he was just too heavy and maybe he needed a lot more hens.

So I gave him to a friend that had 25 hens......so I know he is happy.

I decided to get Rod Stewart because he was so much smaller.


"Can you believe she got rid of John Wayne and brought us Elton John?"

Cluck, cluck, cluck,   hee hee hee,  cluck.


"Oh ladies!!!.....time to go to bed!"



There are five chickens on top of the board that is not suppose to be a roost.

Sigh......

We'll try again tomorrow.

Stay tuned for the next episode.

Will Millie be the first to have a romance with Rod?

Will her twin sister Tillie steal him away?

Will Lucy's boyfriends sisters mother's son show up....dumdumdum....

Tune in next week...

Hot......already.

Well you may as well get use to me saying this.........it's hot!

Yes, already.

I was determined not to use mulch this year because I'm trying to save some money but....

I couldn't stand it.

So I did purchase some and put it out the other day.

Did I mention that it was hot?


Millie was my only helper that day.


She absolutely loves when I get the shovel out.

She will follow me anywhere when I have that shovel.


But the rest of the crew............


Looked like this...

They tried to find shade and a cool patch of dirt.


Except Sambo.....she was born to supervise.

It was so hot this was my lunch...


And if you know me then you know it was H   O    T!

Because I love to eat....:)

Speaking of eating...

A friend of ours gave us this cabbage.


It's huge!!!!!

Cabbage soup, boiled cabbage, steamed cabbage, slaw, cabbage rolls, BBQ cabbage?

You get the point....

We gonna be eating up some cabbage.....yum yum!!!

I hope you all have a great weekend!
