I'm pretty sure those no good %$3%&@!!! armadilla sumbitches are for another use.

I'm sad to report that Ma Nature did me a solid and helped that little sick chick to cross the rainbow bridge & visit the great coop in the sky. Thanks Ma Nature! Sorry about your battle steed Dan! We'll pillage you another one from the next village we raid ok!

And then there were 8...

All of remaining birds are super healthy, active and growing like weeds. I have one bird that is getting pretty big compared to the others. This big one likes to roost on top of their little water bottle feeder and survey its domain. I'm thinking it might be a rooster. We'll find out and if so.....then there will be 7.

The good news is that this possible cross dressing, tranny rooster has a new name. I'll give you 3 guesses who I named it after.
