    Hi Puddin, A "present" for your daughter: And here is what comes out above the fluff (the green one in the middle row) Bruce

    That would be the NORMAL way but Puddin was asking how you get a quote INSIDE a quote, not multiple quotes in one post - which we should all strive for since it makes reading the forum easier. My guess is MOST of the time one posts a quote inside a quote, the editor did something funny, not...

    Things you never said until you had chickens.......

    And then you have to explain that: No, you were NOT responsible for any eggs missing from cartons in the cooler! Make sure you only put blue or green eggs in your pocket (*), I've never seen them for sale at a store Bruce (*) Actually, I advocate NO eggs in the pocket. Too easy to forget or...

    Hi yo Silver - AWAY! What an image: Puddin Fluff riding over the hill on a chicken. Zia flew up to my shoulder Sunday. I put my arm out so she wouldn't be so close to my face and she walked to my upper arm. Yue then landed on my forearm. I am QUITE sure I never said "What DO you girls...

    No eggs in the pockets. NO EGGS IN THE POCKETS! Me yesterday: How many eggs today? Wife: 5..... Oh wait, I forgot there is one in my coat pocket. I'll go get it ... 6. Met the neighbor across the street last weekend. So of course he sticks his hand out for a "nice to meet you" handshake...

    Must be why I keep my chickens in the barn. I'm pretty sure the closest to "in the house" chickens will get here is the brooding of 2 day old chicks in the mudroom bathroom tub until they feather out. Bruce

    Does your mother talk to the dog? She doesn't understand human either. There was a funny Far Side cartoon years ago: Talk to the animals all you like, in any language you want. Whatever they figure out a sound means to THEM is what it means Bruce

    Well, this doesn't actually fit the thread since I have said it before I had chickens (I have 2 daughters) but: "Excuse me girls" has become SO common. I'm working around the barn, their coop, whatever and I need to go get this or that and I'm forever having to get past the girls. I guess I...

    Hope they don't find out about automatic door closers. You'll lose your ability to "sneak" out.

    Yeah, you can't get a scratch on those "off road" vehicles. Not seemly. I think the peacock was just showing what he thought of her vehicle.

    Why WOULDN'T you give them to the chickens? Time to educate the neighbor. And get them to save their zapped bugs for your chickens. And their earwigs, and grubs and ... Too bad my girls don't like Japanese beetles. I have a bunch in the trap. All that protein going to waste! My latest...

    Yep. Big rain last evening. 7 of the 12 are outside and 6 are too stupid to come in. First time they were out in rain. I don't know if they were just confused or what but they sure did not look happy. They went in when the rain let up for a short time but I had to individually pick them up and...

    I can tell you EXACTLY where the cats' tongues have been and they sure wouldn't be licking MY face.

    Oh yeah, we say that ALL THE TIME! Either a freckle or small scab. Now I see why you need the red brooder light. They think ANYTHING small and different in color from the surrounding area must be a bug or something edible even if it doesn't move. I can imagine a small spot on a chick being of...
