Saw one try to peck and mount and she 'kicked his ass'.

I watched a Sapphire Gem pullet whomp on an EE cockerel that tried to mount her at the place where my hatching eggs were started. I want to steal her!!

She needs a rain coat

Suck it up, Buttercup!!

He sounds so funny!

I LOVE hearing the first crows!

I LOVE hearing the first crows!

My boy Darl crowed -- if you can call it that -- at 8 weeks. Little squeaky voice.

I don't want to hear any first crows this chick go around. I am cautiously optimistic that they are all pullets, as they are supposed to be.

They have been out in their side of the run today. Lark, lowest hen of the pecking order, grabbed the Jubilee Orpington chick through the fence and made her squawk. She pulled out a few feathers. I wonder if the Orp is being targeted because she has very different colors and is the only one with speckles, or if she is not smart enough to stay far enough from the fence so Lark can't reach her? And, boy, is Lark reaching her head through as far as she can!

A mug of herb tea before bed. Yeah, I'll have to get up to pee, but I do that a few times a night anyway.

He's been working here since 6/21. He likes it and is doing well so far.

That is great!
Maybe he can be renamed from Useless to Useful

Don't hold your breath.
I've been trying to instill the importance of having a decent credit score and how to achieve it.
He bought a ring for his girl friend that he couldn't afford and wasn't making on time payments. My BIL was riding him about finding out what he owes and getting it taken care of.
I had him log on to Credit Karma and found out that his credit score is less than 480 and late payments are the least of his worries. He has TWO collection accounts on his report. I told him what he needed to do to take care of it and he didn't do it. He still utterly lacks in motivation.
Hopefully he will find and put on his Big Boy Panties very soon.

That is very sad. So many people have NO idea how to handle money. And there is NO WAY IN H3LL I would buy ANY jewelry on credit. If you can't afford it, DON'T BUY IT. Other than a house and maybe a cheap car it has to be "life or death" to borrow. IMO anyway.

I never used credit till I was a old lady paid cash or did not get all my life just made sure I was paid well
