chicken sitting

We are chicken sitting this week. We are supposed to let out the chickens in the morning, and put them away at sundown. The kids also get to gather the eggs! The first night, we get to the farm, and there is a dead chicken! I call my mom to get my dad to come take care of it, as the puke keeps coming up in my mouth. It was an interesting sight, it was on it's back, with it's legs pointing towards the sky. I guess the heat must have cooked it, because there was no blood. Inside the coop, as I was getting the "guard" dog some food, I saw a mouse blur past. Again with the puke. I just don't think I'm cut out for the farm life... Only tonight and tomorrow moring left!
