Cassius the Obedient

We've had our chickens for a few months now. When we first got them we took them to play outside in the sun but they had to sleep in the house until they got all their feathers. We also introduced them to Cassius. The first meeting didn't go so well. He tried to play (eat) one of the yellow ones. Since then we have worked very hard to keep him away from them. Now that they have moved outside permanently (to the Hilton of chicken coops that my awesome husband built) we have been very diligent in watching over them. We use to lock Cassius up when they were out. Then one day Clay found Cassius locked up and all the chickens right by him. Not fair! They've become friends, I hope! Cassius hasn't bothered them once since that first meeting. The chickens are pushing their luck. This is how I found them yesterday (try to see the animals through that dirty sliding glass door, yuck. I'm going to go clean it right now!). This black one is always laying down by Cassius. One day, if it's not careful..... Good Boy Cassius!

Sadie tried to eat our chickens at first but has decided to leave them be now too. However, two days ago, a rooster "magically" appeared in our yard and Sadie is not a fan! The rooster is mean and I think she's actually protecting the chickens from the rooster! The rooster will be going to live somewhere else real soon!
