Protecting myself from Bing

Bing is the Polish Rooster that wondered into my neighborhood and he is the reason we both came to the Dancing Goat Farm. When we first arrived at the farm when it was time to clean Bings cage you had to be careful because he would protect his new ladies with his life. It started to become a problem to get into the cage to clean, feed and collect the eggs. Every time I went in I had to take a trash can cover in with me to use as a shield this was hard on us both and I did not want Bing to get hurt during his fury. If I have learned one thing on the farm you have to be able to think outside the box. After a few days of thinking about the situation of controlling Bing safely I decided to use a plastic milk crate as a temporary holding cage. When I came in the next day I got a plastic milk crate and went to Bings cage as I opened the door Bing approached me but instead of having to protect myself I calmly placed the milk crate over him at which time he just sat down and started to complain. This was a great moment because I now was able to clean, feed and collect the eggs with no problems. I have been using the milk crate for months now and Bing is used to it and calmly waits under the crate until I am done. Well it is the end of another weekend and I will be back on Tuesday so check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm.
