Farm chatter

[CHlCKEN]

I have 22 chickens. The ducks live in their own coop.
My run is like the ones CHLCKEN posted pictures of. Chicken wire with hardwire cloth over it, and rocks around it to prevent digging animals. 19 chickens are in the run, but they don’t live in it, they free range all day.

Can I see pictures of you have them? I’m open to any ideas and I would like to see it.

I have some with it in the background. I don’t currently have any of the full run, but I can take some tomorrow.

Technically there shouldn’t be a ... since that means the sentence is going to continue

The "..." is used to imply that one's sentence is trailing off, as well, or that there is a pause. If it is used at the end of a sentence, there should be a period placed at the end, making it four dots, to state that the sentence has ended.

my friends' easter egger has gotten old and stopped laying (it's not from winter, she stopped a few months before lol) and their mom likes the blue eggs, so they might be getting chicks AGAIN
they got some last spring

@Sapphire Sebright - is the right way to show belonging to something plural to do the s' ?
e.g. friends'
?

Really? I’m pretty sure that was Huffle. And I think Fuchsia did, too.

Mine is correct now.

If something is plural and ends in "s," then you just need the apostrophe on the end, yes.
If someone's name or another noun ends in "s," only the apostrophe is needed.

However, things get a bit strange in some cases -- for example, asking if something belongs to who, you wouldn't write, "who's," as that is the contraction of "who is," -- rather, you would write, "whose."
Same goes for "it" -- "it's," is a contraction of "it is," and "its," is the possessive.
