So, our camp has a new thing this year,
a petting zoo.
We have 3 cages and a rabbit hutch.
One cage holds 4 guinea pigs and
a rabbit. The rabbit used to live
with the other rabbit in the hutch,
but one day the kids were yelling,
"Look, the rabbits are giving each other
piggy back rides. Yay!! Piggy back rides."
Did I mention that our rabbits are MALE?
Yes, we seem to have gay rabbits.
Another cage holds 3 baby rabbits.
No, they are not offspring of the
gay rabbits.
The third cage holds 3 ducks and 4 chickens.
The chickens are nasty to each other.
One is missing quite a few feathers.
Well, my kids named them today.
They are:
Pecker (yup, Pecker)
Plucker (hence Pecker's missing feathers)
The Enforcer (she seems to instigate the fights)
Big Mama (she's the big black chicken no one messes with)
Tomorrow is payday.
We requested to be paid in cash so after work
we can all go to the petting zoo and
place bets on Big Mama and maybe
later, catch a show at the hutch.
Ahhh, I love camp.

Well they're just learning a lot this summer, aren't they? :-)
Sounds like a very educational sort of camp......Love the chick names!! LOL!
Wait.. what kind of camp is this again? LOL.
BTW, how big is the chicken cage? They need 10 square feet per chicken in run space, and 4 in the coop. (depending on the type of chicken). they may not have enough space hence the pecking.
yes, I'm sadly the chicken whisperer.
Lana (chicken whisperer), we definitely do not have enough space then. It's a pretty big cage, but not that big. I'll mention it to the powers that be.
I know, I am late to the game here... but this made me giggle:) Love the names, and how did the betting go? :)
