A month after the fact it's easier to think about. But I will tell you that Blair's being flogged by our rooster scared me to death. Forget being a nurse; I was terrified.
I was right there. Right next to her. I just didn't snatch her up in time. It was like slow motion. I knew it was happening. All i had to do was reach down and grab her, but I couldn't do it fast enough.
And this is what we ended up with. He hit her right on the nose. And I was right behind her - she was right in front of my legs. I know we're blessed it wasn't worse.
It happened, it's over, she's fine, and we have no more rooster.
Now when I post my beach pictures, you'll know the whole story behind the eyes. I can't tell you how many people stared and asked. And when I told them, they said, "What?!" and really started listening.

oh ashlee! i'm so sorry. i know the momma guilt is one of the worst parts of it. so so thankful blair is okay. i can't imagine how terrifying that must have been.
and on a totally unrelated note...did you see the link that i "tweeted" to you? :)
Hope you fried him and let Blair gnaw on one of his legs.
wow, bless her heart. bless your heart.
Oh my goodness! I cannot believe it Ashlee!!! I am sorry! Yes! Thank the Good Lord it wasnt any worse!
That's so scary. I've read about roosters and small children. We have two roosters. They've never bothered anyone, I think because they are too busy chasing each other around.
But they still make me a little nervous because you just never really know.
Glad she's OK.
Bless her little heart..I know you had to be terrified. I had to get rid of a rooster like that one time too. Every time I went in the pen to get the eggs he'd try to attack me!
Glad she's ok.
I have learned that nursing skills can go right out the window when you are a mama! The first time NK got strangled while nursing I completely forgot what to do! I am glad Blair didn't get hurt any worse! I hate roosters, I got chased by one as a little girl and have been terrified ever since!
