@ronott1 you are one message from 55,000

I am over 55,000 now!

Still, I can't make it into the top10 posters...Some post a lot on here.

I have not looked in a while but I do better with likes and trophy points

I have released the young guinea keets into the run! Only had to evict the large female guinea due to her bullying the keets. The chickens leave them alone. The big guinea is going to be housed with the ducks until the keets can defend themselves.

I've discovered a completely unforeseen problem with this double sitting business.
The nest is in the house nest box. Ruffles sits during the day and Tackle during the night.
There are reasons for this explained earlier.
The problem is Tackle spends a lot of the day here waiting for me to remove Ruffles. She stays in broody mode essentially and what broody hens do normally when they get off the nest to eat, drink, bath is empty their bowls.
Under normal circumstances this entails one large very smelly dump and while they are off the nest, as many little squeezes as they can to ensure their bowls are empty when the return to sitting.
Tackle does her mega dump after Ruffles evicts her in the morning and hse is very good and does this outside. However, when she comes back into the house she spends the day making sure her bowls are empty in case she sits. The effect of this given she nips out for a snack or two is a constant stream of tiny poop piles and this goes on all day!
As soon as she gets back on the nest in the evening it stops.
My toilet roll consumption is going to require a bank loan to fund at this rate.

Oh dear, that is a problem! Maybe a rubber mat you can hose off?

I seem to have the uncanny ability to burn most of what I try to roast.
It's an oven problem' out of sight out of mind until it starts smelling.

That is why humans invented timers. You need to stop using the smoke detector to know when dinner is ready!

Pffftt, the smoke detector works just fine.
To tell the truth I've never used the oven timer; not sure if I know how.
Cooking, it's not my strong point.

Does Princess enjoy it as well, Sour?

Shad I always use timers. The problem is, I set them and meander all around the house and can't hear them when they go off.

I once got got father a timer, so he would know to take his pills, when I was out of the house. Came back to find he beat the timer to death because of the noise and still didn't take his pills. Oy carumba!!

She does, but then again 'I' am there.

There you go see......a smoke alarm wins hands down. You can hear that halfway down the street if you buy a goodun.

Well, the egg shift duo have stopped turning the eggs. Tackle was very very careful when she took over from Ruffles this evening. Time to start giving out female vibes methinks.
