I don't have anything to say here, but it's always hilarious to see their faces when you say,

 

"Be careful, she might poop on you."

"Suddenly a voice said, 'Go forth neighbor,

spread the picture on a wider screen.'
And the voice said, 'Neighbor there's a million reasons
why you should be glad in all four seasons.
Hit the road neighbor leave your worries and strife,
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life!' "

Especially when I am trying to count them, had my head on an angle, and one of the hens dropped her gift in my ear! sickbyc.gif LOL!!


Got an other city slicker moment-

It was one of my sister's open house, and some old friend of my mom was over with her daughter and her kids. I was giving them a tour of our farm, and we came to the fence in area where my month old pair of Emus are.

Me- These are Emus, and I hatched them myself.

The daughter- Oh WOW, I did not know that they come from eggs!!

My mom's friend- Well, they ARE birds...

The daughter- Oh, I must be thinking of a different animal...

Me- LOLing in my head. gig.gif

My Emus when they were a month old, they are now 2 months old-

THAT BEING SAID.

i also adopted them at four weeks old after their mother died, and they kill mice for me frequently. they dont eat them, there is never even a speck of blood. they always leave the body somewhere i know they will find it.

i dont think animals "stuff" themselves the way we people do.

i think the whole cat converation has not been based on the kind of experience i have had with mine which is cats in their prime, access to food all day long, mother died when they were four weeks old, avid hunters anyhow.

you obviously never met my catwink.png he stuffs himself with anything edible and even got into the noodles ep.gif oh and eats cicadas like popcorn pop.gif and he is over 20 lnds and hunts like the old pro he is smile.png he even tought us to either leave the food out all the time or have a mess to clean up in the morning. he also leaves us "presents" right outside our doors *shudder* he has even brought in live birds in the middle of the nightbarnie.gif

1 crazy cat, 13 ameracaunas, 4 PR, 6silkies , 2 TT, 6 ;GSL, ;and 3 bos, 4 cochins, 10 leghorns, 6 blue laced red wyandotte, 6 crested birds yet to be determined and finally 2 mix crazy chicks thats my flock

I've got two off the top of my head:

"Are they roosters or chickens?" gig.gif I bet some other people have gotten this one. lol.png
--
Me - "They're three year old hens, and we get fresh eggs every day!"

This girl - "Cool! So, are they laying eggs?"

gig.gif Oh god.
"I rode a much more advanced horse named Lil Mitzy the other day. Although I accidentaly kicked her out of pure habit and she bolted a little, I learned from my mistakes. That day, someone else rode Starfire. I wasn't as sad as I thought I'd be, either. I learned that each horse brings out the best in me in a different way." -- Me

Im considered a "city slicker" unfortunately, because i live in a suburban town with no farms, but im probably the only person in my area that knows about this stuff. But when I was younger i said something really dumb (i didnt know anything about this stuff cuz im not in an area where people farm):

 

(we are at the deli counter at the food store)

 

Brother: You know, ham comes from pigs!

Me: Oh, so does like, cheese, come from ducks? (because ducklings are yellow) th.gif

 

I was very young when i said this though, but im sure if i was raised around ducks i would think differently!
