After convicted Felon, PG&E caused the fire last November that destroyed the town of Paradise and killed 85 people, The Utility decided to cut power in places and on days that had high fire danger.

Of course proper maintenance of the power lines would solve the problem....

Wow, that's awful. Just looked it up, sounds like quite the history of neglect by the power company.

I don't know if it's a TX thing but I've only seen them here in South TX.

They have pink ones in FL.

Here's some pics of what they look like....and yes they will absolutely cover an entire pasture or yard.

You have too many! Poor things would likely die in zone 7 where I am.

 

[CapricornFarm]

Me too!

Summer has been dragging on here-- back up to 100 today again and a red flag day for fire danger. PGE turned off power to three counties yesterday. The power will be off for up to 48 hours

That's absurd!

Finally get the main field plowed and sown with alfalfa.

Treacle is a seriously handsome dude. He should pose.

It all went wrong today.
The main house has guests. A women and her brat of a child.
I tell everyone who comes here do not try to pet or feed any of the chickens. I try as politely as possible to explain that they are dangerous and while they may see me doing things with the chickens it's because the chickens know me, not because they are human friendly. I make this absolutely clear and I do mean absolutely clear.

There are chicks all over the place and this stupid women, the sort that knows better than anyone else, and her brat, were watching me do the mid afternoon feed. If she had been more observant she would have noticed I put Knock and her chicks bowl down and backed off.
I didn't see it but I heard the scream. The stupid women got a piece of bread and with her brat went to try and entice Knocks chicks close enough to grab one. She said she wanted her brat to hold a real live chick. Knock does not mess about. She is very aggressive and of course when the women made a grab for the chick, knock let her have both barrels. Knock got in two good rakes with her feet; five stitches worth of rakes to be precise.
Now I've got the people in the main house saying Knock has to go and she's dangerous. My response probably wasn't super tactful in saying anyone who even touches knock is going to get their fingers broken. I pointed out that I had warned this women as I always do and if she was too stupid to take heed neither I nor knock are responsible.
Needless to say I'm in the doghouse but they've taken me seriously and talk about getting rid of Knock has stopped.
