Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

[21hens-incharge]

Does anyone know how the lasagna turned out at
@theuglychick 's house today? -for those still reading to catch up, she had weekend guests and she also made tirimisu! -
Or is that on the other thread?

I haven't seen her all day....... Either that squirrel or to much lasagna and food coma or everyone there has been out squatch watching......

Im right there with ya on the teenager.
I have 1 ( of 4) left at home and sometimes she's the dearest buddy you could ever want, other times shes shockingly mean and says such hateful things... it just knocks the wind out of me.

Honestly I'm not as strong a person as I used to be. We lost our oldest son to suicide 6 years ago. It left me with a huge hole in my heart.

I totally understand. The loss of a child never really leaves you. Every morning you wake up and know you are missing one. Every time a holiday comes around you think "I wonder what it would be like with them?" The first year when you can barely breath every waking moment of the day, and suddenly realize that even though your world has stopped everyone else has moved on. It took me two years before I was any semblance of normal again. Thank god for The Compassionate Friends or I don't know what I would have done. I too feel much more fragile for the experience. I hope you had lots of support in your life and good friends. How old would your son be today?

I’m so sorry to hear about your son! I can’t even imagine how awful that must be! It makes me realize that despite the teenage attitude, I need to treasure him while I have him!
My daughter, who is 28 and has kids of her own now, used to have that sweet/mean alternating attitude. (I can remember her telling me I had PMS a few times!) Now that she is older and has little ones, she has a whole new perspective on things! Girls are bad that way, but it gets better with age and maturity.
Hang in there.....
I’m sending hugs and prayers your way!

He would be 31! Thank you for asking.
I'm so very sorry for your loss as well, wish I could give you a hug.

I'd like to think she had all her free-eatin visitors out there search in a grid pattern while the lasagna was in the oven. Lol

The Compassionate Friends were awesome when my second daughter was stillborn at 28 weeks. It’s been like 20 years ago, so it’s easy to talk about now. That was hard enough...I can’t imagine losing a child that is older that you have spent years loving! My heart goes out to all of you that have experienced this loss!

Oh so very sorry for the loss of your baby. To lose any child is difficult and just out of the natural order of things... at 28 weeks... or 28 years, with them you lose so many hopes and dreams.
It changes the landscape of your life.
I have always been a very caring and sensitive person. If nothing else, it has raised my empathy level to the highest degree.
I ache for your loss like you are a dear friend. So sorry.

You really need these leggings to go with that shirt:

I actually bought the following guinea fowl leggings (since I love guineas!) My husband begs me not to wear them outside of the house, thereby airing his deep dark secret....that his wife is a crazy bird lady!
